I was thinking of upgrading around April, I was looking for suggestion. The main focus of my build is Gaming + Some rendering ( not a huge part).
how much do you have to spend? new video card?
Probably wanted to upgrade to a 280x when they where like 300$ - 280$ but now they are like 500 - 600 $ where I live ( Canada) . Was thinking of a 770, but it doesn't seem like a great value
yeah, since the amd cards are so inflated because of coin mining nvidia see no need to try to lower their prices either.
That's my exact issues, may just hold off, or upgrade other things in the mean time.
depending on your needs that mobo seems to handle a 8320 with no OC, but maybe getting a 99fx chipset would be a better upgrade. If you're only gaming I would go for the 770, but it's true that doesn't seems to be the best value
