Ask the Experts: I want to upgrade my AMD-based system, what should I get?

By: (more) | Cases, Cooling & PSU News | Posted: Nov 27, 2012 11:34 am

Our Ask the Experts section has a new question, with Nicolas in the US wanting to upgrade his system.

 

TweakTown's Ask the Experts

 

Q: I'm looking for my next upgrade.

 

I have the following currently:

 

Yamakasi qHD monitor.

AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE @ 4.3Ghz.

32GBs of DDR3-1333MHz G.Skill Ripjawz.

M4N98TD EVO (with the built in GPU turned onfor PhysX.)

EVGA GTX 670 @ Stock everything.

Samsung 830 for OS.

Some WD Blues for storage.

 

Where do I go from here? I don't really play that many 3D game as I used to, Skyrim is pretty much the only real 3D game I play anymore. I ask because I always feel the need for more power. I understand that anything from Intel will be better, but I haven't had any Intel desktop products since the Pentium 3 days. Should I wait for whatever is coming out from AMD or jump ship while I can?

 

P.S. - I'm a bang-for-your-buck kind of guy.

 

A: You can view the answer to Nicholas' question right here.
