Hey guys, university student here, just landed a big scholarship, so I want to treat myself to an upgrade or a rebuild.
First off, despite the scholarship, I want to save as much as possible. However, that is secondary. My primary objective is to run CPU-intensive games at 40-50 fps. (Games like DCS World, Prepar3d, iRacing, etc) Main reason is because I'll invest in an Oculus sometime soon, and I've heard that low fps can make you sick.
Continuing on the saving money part, I already have a Dell XPS 8500 that I bought a long time ago, and I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but a 3.4Ghz cpu was struggling to get 20-30 fps in DCS with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 1GB card. Quick component list of the XPS8500:
i7 3770(k?) @ 3.4Ghz 16 GB DDR3 ram <---looking to reuse this, if possible NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 1GB
I have all the peripherals, such as keyboard, mouse, screen, etc so mainly looking for a parts list that would help max out these games since they are rather FPS-sensitive. Budget of new parts ideally would be <$750, but I'm willing to go over if reasonably important.
Thanks in advance!
