Head over heels in love :)
My PC system is looking increasingly creaky.
CPU is a i5-4590 3.3ghz quad core
GPU is a 4gb GTX 760
I can't remember the motherboard model, but RAM is 8gb, and OS is Windows 7
I have a DVD-RW.
I have a local computer shop that has some systems, reconditioned.
Some of these are blatantly unsuitable, namely the HP's at the top and the two Lenovos at the bottom. I want something that will last a while but I don't want to spend vast amounts of money. Would it be advisable to hold on and see if the GPU prices dip a bit. Is there anything there that stands out.
One concern is that a lot of them seem to have no optical drive, but that's solvable, also the storage on some seems to be rather low, many seeming to have on average a 1tb drive which with the way things are going doesn't seem to be much. I suppose it might be possible to hook up some of the drives from my present system.
I play games like the BF and COD series, RPG's, other FPS's, point and clicks (i know adventures arent system intensive in general), more open world games like the Saints Row, GTA, Red Dead Redemption type games and others..
Another thing is that well, its Windows 7, more stuff is coming out that needs 10. I'm finding even older games like Wolfenstein II:New Colossus and Battlefront 2 (the newer one), are giving me frame rate issues. I don't know if its the graphics card or CPU that is the bottleneck or a combination of the two. A DVD drive would nice to have but isn't expensive and/or can be fitted later.
