Reasoner512 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 So I have been out of the computer building scene since 2012, so I am behind on all the latest tech. I need some help. I currently have: HD 77708GB RAMIntel Core i5 2500k Sandy BridgeAntec 650w TruePower Trio1080 resolution monitor (single) I have been playing Skyrim and have recently dove into the world of mods. Without mods Skyrim runs fine on my machine, but when I start adding texture packs and other various mods, my current system simply can't keep up anymore. I would ideally like to just keep everything I have and just throw in a new card. Money isn't really an issue, but I don't want to spend money on stuff I don't need. I was thinking just throwing in an R9-280x or something similar?
FiftyTifty Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 The i5 2500k is about as good as it gets; Ivybridge and Haswell were, at best, 6% increments over each other. But yeah, a 280x will be dandy.
