Plan to overclock this to 4Ghz!,My tuniq tower is more than capable.

Hi,

Yes gaming...and the usual internet etc.

I had thought about getting a DX11 graphics card,But at this moment in time there realy isnt many DX11 games,and to be honest from side by side comparisions DX10/11 you cant see much diffrence...so im going to stick with my 4890 until i need to upgrade

I'd recommend something other than G.skill ram - we have seen a lot of issues with it recently. Stick with Corsair, Kingston, Crucial, or A-Data.

I don't think you'll really notice a worthwhile improvement in gaming with the upgrades you listed.

What is your perception of gaming performance on your current rig?
