But, I just watched the new Razetheworld video where they look at a gtx 780. Now, they menitoned that they were gonna later show if people should get a whole new system, or just upgrade the gpu. I also watched Austin Evans video about this too, and it seemed even with a cheap amd cpu vs a i7, there was not a huge differnece in most games. So I am planning getting a : AMD A10-6800K Richland 4.1GHz, Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB, Samsung 840 Series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III internal Solid, Radeon HD 7970 3GB. This is all based around my budget. I already have two hdds, so all i need is a ssd. I know that I bottlenecked my system, but it was my first legit build.. and i only had like 300 bucks to spend. I had to use hard drives laying around, and i am using my 26 inch tv for a monitor which sucks. So yea. I am in high school with low hours, so money is a problem. I am going to try to get some of these parts from chirstmas, and spend my money on the rest. So, I need to know if I should get a new system based around intel because they are generally faster, or I could just upgrade to get faster. I use my computer for gaming, mainstream to indie. I also use it for flash aniamtions and photoshop.
