My PC is allegedly under powered for T:ANE according to N3V, at least in the video processor, and since test versions will be out soon, I need to look around for some new bits.
I've been building my own PCs for ages so this will be yet another rebuild. This time around I intend replacing the case, the motherboard, processor, memory and the video card. My existing power supply is relatively new and is rated at 600W which should be adequate but I need to check this. I have a couple of SSDs and a 3TB fast HDD so I have no intention of changing those.
What I'm looking for are recent experiences with motherboards, processors and especially video cards. My current processor is an I7 but an early one. The current crop (4th gen) of I5s look to be more than adequate for my purposes but, if my SO is feeling generous, I might buy an I7 again.
I do note that someone said the Gigabyte Radeon R9 PCi 3.0 video card worked well for them which is good since it is on my list as a possibility.
If any Australian Trainzers want to respond, and have a good news story about a supplier in this country, please let me know by PM.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers
