Hey guy's i'm thinking about rebuilding my system i haven't touched it in almost a year or two so i'm completely out of the loop. The last known setup i have is currently:
CPU: Intel Core i7 965 Extreme Edition
Mobo: MSI Big Bang X-Power
Memory: Kingston HyperX (12-24GB?)
Harddrive: 2 WD Raptors ; 1 Maxtor 500 GB
Monitor: Sony 1080p 32" HDTV
Sound Card: Soundblaster X-Fi
Video Card: N/A
#1: Buy a GTX 780 along with 2 Samsung S27B970D's (is it 2 overkill?) and then just calling it a day? My question is... Should i just stick to using my Sony 32" HDTV? In regards to the video card is there anything else i should be looking at besides the GTX 780?
#2 Upgrade the mobo/cpu and buying a video card and then calling it a day? I've been looking at the Intel core i7 3930k as well as the AMD FX-8350. I know the 3930k absolutely dominates but is pricey and after adding the motherboard it gets even more expensive. Is the AMD FX-8350 even worth it? Do i even need to upgrade my current CPU/Mobo?
I would love to hear your guys's input/advice!
