Greetings,
I am looking to sell the following components:-CPU-AMD Phenom ii x4 955 be
-GPU-Sapphire HD 6870
-RAM-4 GB 1600MHz paired with 4 GB 1333MHz
-PSU-Cooler Master 400W
-Motherboard-Gigabyte GA-77
-CD-ROM-LG

I suppose you could tell me roughly what this might be worth—everything is somewhat aged, maybe about 1.5 years old.

Thanks in advance

There is zero chance of running modern titles at a full 1920x1200 resolution while keeping everything maxed out.

I suppose I just need another 4GB of RAM and a decent CPU cooler—though, given that this motherboard is pretty much entry-level, I'm not entirely sure what the point is. It really feels like I should probably invest at least a little more into this build, if only to make it worth the effort. $1000 To see any significant improvement—if you can even call it that—you’d need to make a substantial leap. 😛

Haha, no... but money isn't exactly the issue here.
I had similar intentions—to perhaps invest a bit more capital so I could actually build something on my own.
It seems things have gone quiet... maybe too quiet.
I was considering sticking with the RTX 3080—and then perhaps upgrading the processor and motherboard to match its performance level.
What are your thoughts?

Hey everyone... I could use some help if anyone is available..

Intel Core i7-2600K, 3200 MHz (16 x 200-proc
RTX 3080 sapphire card
4GB RAM
ASUS Prime Z790 motherboard (assuming I got that right)

That’s about the gist of it—so I was wondering what I should upgrade to ensure newer games run without too much hassle
for the next maybe 2-3 years.
I’d probably buy everything locally in Chicago using a credit card.
If you have any ideas at all, please let me know.
