Welp, didn't think I'd ever post in this thread. I'm still on the starter kit, lol... So bear with me while I slowly adjust to the "master race"

I have a GTX 760 and i love it.
i have 12 gigs of ram and a i5 3570k processor...these components are important as well.

the GTX 760 is going for $250 right now.
the model i have is the EVGA 2 gig.

I'm only at 8, but I damn sure need to upgrade my CPU also... I'm on a AMD-A6 APU (the ones that usually come with HP built desktops... I bought this one two years ago for 350 off somebody, treated me well gaming wise... usually low - medium settings, but then my fan would blow like crazy). I need to find a good deal on a decent processor also, probably a new motherboard also.... fukk it, I'm probably going to end up gutting the entire thing anyway. smh...

i had 16 gigs of ram but one of my sticks went bad...took me forever to find out what was crashing all my games.
8 gigs is fine for current games but if you wanna "future proof"...fill in the blanks.

as far as the cpu goes, i'm not up on the amd cpu's.
my last cpu was an amd and i ran it into the ground...used it way beyond it's life cycle...then i got my i5.

good luck and def ask around these parts for advice.
there are some very helpful and knowledgeable heads here.

I want to get GTX 760 but I know the minute I get it they'll announce the Maxwell version.

I'll probably end up waiting until December :merchant:

I played all 3 on 360 so it was hard adjusting. I decided against getting the addon or whatever to use the controls, and the kb/m set up is quite nice. I play pretty much everything with a 360 controller on my PC as well. Controllers just the GOAT in my opinion. Knock offs are like 10 bucks. its a no brainer.

maxwell aint anytime soon so don't do that to yourself, waiting game is silly.
