I have about another 1,000 dollars to spend on a upgrade for my current system. I built it last year with the help of you good people. My specs will be posted below. This paragraph so you can help me choose what to do. So currently I am debating between a few different upgrading options. My graphics card, My ram, or my processor. If I were to upgrade my processor I would like to upgrade to a card that will destroy anything most likely the GTX 600 series. Currently I have a GTX 560 2 GB I used to have a GTX 570 HD SC but sadly that card died on me I am still unsure how it did. Anyways I could either go with another GTX 560 2gb in SLI, or attempt to sell that card(Perfectly fine card) and upgrade to a powerful single card. With my ram I started out with 8 gb 1600 ddr3, and stepped up to 16 (4x8gb) and now it seems 1 or more RAM sticks have died on me, (Currently running Memtest to determine what sticks). If I were to upgrade I might do 16 gb or 32 I am not sure I multitask like crazy when I gamer and such. Any ideas? And this time I would like ram that WILL NOT die on me. (I cannot return it either because they were gifts) And lastly I have a AMD 1100t OCed at 4 ghz. I think I will be fine with this processor for a while. But my other parts do need tending to. I would rather not spend all 1000 dollars. and Just spend around 600-800. OR LESS. I do need to upgrade my home network and also buy a new nic card for my computer as it seems that died on me too. Not a great experience but everything is still operational. The ram issue is very frustrating as my PC crashes frequently, and with games coming out now a days my Graphics card isn't handling them as well anymore. Try to comment ASAP. Thank you.
