I am debating weither to upgrade any parts to this current pc or just straight out go for a new one. I run normally 1 monitor 1080p and have very little intent on buying another monitor as room is an issue.

( Note currently for all my games this ones fine but i know when i start buying newer titles i will run into issues.)

My current pc is as follows
I7 920
6 gig ram
asus pt6 se motherboard
2 tb ssd/hd hybrid drive from seagate
270x radeon 2 gig video ram.

Any suggestions to which option would be appreciated.


My second question pertais to needing a new chair. I am looking at a PC gaming char designed for8-10 hrs of use a day. Currently i have looked at DXracer as well as maxnomics and would like input if anyone has either product or another brand. ( If you know a good one that tends to be in stores that i can see first hand that would be appreciated as well) ( my height is 5,11 and im around 185-200pound range)
 
I'm with you Matt, except I have the i7 960 and the 4Gb GTX 970 I need to order more RAM and only newegg has triple channel still. I looked at the requirements for the new Star Wars game and 8Gb is the minimum and 16Gb the recommended. Like I've said in the past my computer isn't my life I know have three project trucks to finish and will build a new one when the next gen Intel is fully evolved and cheaper.

Link to RAM:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...yMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo the triple channel is out of stock so three of these should be fine.

With the 1151 skylake chipsets, its affordable to upgrade your system. You'll be slightly future proofed by going with a skylake/DDR4 upgrade as opposed to a haswell based system. You can save a few dollars by sticking with haswell chipsets but in all honesty, it'll be on its way out in the next 2-3 years while DDR4 starts to take over the market in RAM and AMD releases a similar processor to compete with Intel once again.

I just did a skylake upgrade to my own system with the i5 6600k that I overclocked slightly. Im seeing a major improvement from my AMD based system previously. Also - Do not worry about the 6600k not coming with a cooler. Any cooler from the 115X series processors should fit on the new 1151 series.

You'll be paying a lot more for a "gaming chair" than you would a regular office chair. Go to a store and pick out one you like. ~80% of the time, anything that has "Gaming" infront of it will cost more. You can get the same comforts for a lot less than some gaming directed chair.

If you're die hard gaming chair, go with DXRACER. Just be ready to pay.
