Help me with my PC upgrade?
« on: September 28, 2011, 05:19:32 pm »

Hey follow bay12'ers,

I'm in the process of updating my 3 year old gaming PC. It's still chugging along nicely, but not quite nice enough anymore.

I'm trying to throw together a list of hardware to upgrade to, and here's what I got so far:
(Keep in mind, this IS for gaming - games such as Rift, Dwarf Fortress, Space Marine, Battlefield 3 etc)

EVGA 560
ASUS P8P67
Intel i5 2500
Kingston 16gb (2xkit of 2x4gb) with the following number - KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX

How does that sound? It's not top-of-the-line, but it looks good from where I'm sitting. Any upgrades push the price much further.
