Reasoner512 Posted May 22, 2014 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyTifty Posted May 22, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
