It's finally time to upgrade my system. I've been out of the loop for several years so I'm not sure what's good but I did some brief research and here's what I came up with:
m/b: Biostar A770E3 AM3
cpu: Athlon II X4 620
ram: 2x 4gb DDR3 1333
hd: Seagate Barracuda 1tb 5900rpm
video: Geforce 9800GT 512mb DDR3 PCI-e 2.0
This system would be used mostly for software development (mainly running the eclipse ide, and running some vmware images), but I also want to be able to play games. Can this system handle the latest games? Should I be concerned that the video card doesn't support DX11? Or should I get something better, maybe the HD 5750?
