Hey everyone, it's been quite a few years since I've been on here but seeing Cyber Monday is here I have been thinking about upgrading my PC but there is also an insane deal on PS4. Now I've always loved PC games and the graphics but sitting at my computer desk gets old after a while. It makes no sense for me to sit at my computer which is only 15 feet away from my living room which contains a 60" HDTV and full blown Klipsch Home Theater System w/ SVS Subs and my couch. My thoughts are to either pick up the PS4 on special and be done with it or take the steps necessary to play PC games in my living room. My PC is great for the work I do but I'm not sure how it will stand up to today's games and especially on a TV. I will post my specs below but briefly explain what I am planning on if going PC upgrade. I should have plenty of memory (32G) and an I7 4770K is no slouch as far as when I built the PC a couple years ago but I do know how that goes. My main concern I'd imagine for gaming would be graphics which as of now I have an MSI GTX 960 OC Gaming 2G. I've been out of the loop for some time with gaming and graphics along with SLI for many years. I'm not sure how capable my MSI GTX 960 is but it would be really nice to make use of it. I could surely go out and get another one and run SLI but not sure how far that would take me. There is also another model of my GTX 960, the Gaming 4G, which if compatible would bring me to 6G between the two cards in SLI. That would be great and improve my performance plus add to the bling, lol. Other than that I would need a good solution regarding a bluetooth controller that would be reliable from 15 feet away. I already have a 50 foot HDMI cable I'm not using so that could be used to run to my HDTV. As of now I've never used bluetooth with my PC running Maxumus VI Formula and not sure how to set it up. As far as I know my computer has never been detected as a bluetooth device from my phone or other bluetooth devices. Any help and suggestions would be great on this matter as I'd like to place an order as soon as possible for either route I go. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!
