Hi all!
I'm thinking about building a new gaming pc. I was recently playing Rage and Skyrim, and noticed issues with texture loading and weird spikes of lag.
Currently I run:
AMD x6 1055t overclocked to 3.3Ghz
8 gigs of DDR3 1600 RAM
Asus Crosshair IV Formula Mobo
Windows 7 64 bit
I was hoping to be more impressed by the new Vishera release. I do both heavy multi-threaded applications for photo and movie editing, as well as lots and lots of gaming. I spend more time on the gaming.
I was thinking of going to:
Intel 3570k or 2500k
16 gigs of DDR3 1600 RAM
Asus Sabretooth z77 or Asus Maxiumus V
Windows 7 or Windows 8 64 bit
I know I'd be upgrading the general performance of the computer, but would it improve performance enough to make it worth the investment?
Are there more price effective components which will allow me to overclock?
Besides the new layout gripes, are there technical reasons not to upgrade to Windows 8? Would getting faster ram make an appreciable difference?
