Osprey Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 A year ago worked out a spec ... result was i5 3570k 3.4GHz on ASUS P8Z77-V LE, 16GB RAM, SSD (for OS), 2TB HDD, Coolermaster CPU cooling & PSU and an MSI GTX560TI Hawk twin frozr This latter item looking very much like having a h/w fault ....... If I have to buy a new card what is the current recommendation, assume if I have to buy I should buy something newer ... I don't do any gaming .... PC is used for general business apps .... and for Video Editing (Vegas, Photoshop etc.) Want to stay with NVIDIA as CUDA works well with Vegas. Quote
Vr5fx Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 A GTX 660 would be an average upgrade. Nothing too serious but should suit your needs well. Something like this. http://www.ebuyer.com/396967-gigabyte-gv-n660oc-2gd-660-gv-n660oc-2gd The 660 is now an average video card. Mine was nearly twice the price on release. -Vr Quote AMD FX 6100 @ 3.9Ghz / Asus M5A99X EVO 990X / G-Skill 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX / Zotac GeForce GTX 660 Ti / Corsair TX 750W V2 PSU / Antec Kuhler 620 / Win7 64 / NZXT Tempest 410 Elite / NZXT 6 channel fan controller / Kingston 240GB HyperX 3K SSD / 1TB HDD Intel Pentium G2020 2.90GHz / Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI / Kingston 4GB DDR3 1600MHz HyperX Genesis / Corsair 430W CXM / Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Case / 2TB WD Greenhttp://steamsignature.com/status/default/76561197986113115.png
