Already have a gtx 570. Wanting to put down another 1000 for best gaming rig I can make.
Hi there,
This is my first time doing this, so I'm unsure of what exactly I should be looking for in putting together my first gaming rig. The listed gtx 570 is one that I already have in my possession and I would like to use it if possible. I've also already got a good set of speakers/good monitor/mouse.. etc. Just looking to get the best performance for gaming for when that steam summer sale inevitably happens.
I'm also curious, is a two drive setup worth the price? Or should I just spend the money I save from one hard drive on something else?
Also, I do not plan on overclocking my system.
Edit:
