So I need some advice and thoughts about an X99 upgrade from my AMD system.
Im thinking of getting a MSI X99S SLI Plus MB with a 5820K and 16GB/32GB of quality DDR4 RAM @2800MHz (only cost about 7£/10€ more per 16GB) and ofc a new PSU (my two other PSUs I had bought for changing out my current one, 1 seasonic and 1 evga has already been put to other use.)
My biggest Question is will my 670sli setup need an Upgrade? I'm after something that can help me with work related VMs and Workloads @ home and Gaming =), Im asking cause I personally dont need more *POWA* but have been reading alot about 2GB VRAM aint enough anymore for gaming when playing AAA titles. I'm currently just playing some Indie Games that aint demanding at all but I have quite a nice Steam-library with GTA V and other fun titles (havnt gotten the time to play for a couple of months = newborn and work xD). Work alot from Home and need some Fun in between the workloads.
Two smaller Q's are:
PSU: how many Watts should I atleast get to be able to have a *stable* and *safe* overclocking environment and does a GOLD rated PSU meet the requirements?
SSD: I have a couple (4) of v300 120GB drives from Kingston that aint those frakked ones, but when Upgrading I was thinking of also getting 1/2 500GB Samsung EVO 850s as storage/Game Drives and Run my old ones as a RAID 0 or 1 OS drive would this be a valid way to go or should I just Go with the EVOs (I have a 16TB NAS for mass storage & backups)
So What ya thoughts and advice for me? Am I just dumb, or is it a vaild and kinda thought-out Upgradeplan?
