I Am most likely going to upgrade my mobo/cpu/ram and just wait out on the video card until the new Gtx 295 comes out so the 4870 will go lower in price.
I am so tempted to get that new Core i7 cpu but its so expensive
alright so i will most likely hold out on a video card for a while and just upgrade everything else.
Whats a good Mobo/cpu/and ram to get for around $250 or less?
If i were to buy the 4870 and hold out for 4-5 months before i buy a new cpu how much of a framerate increase am i looking at for a game like Need for speed undercover?
Note i only get between 10-20fps with my 7950gt
Right now I have nvidia 7950gt with a very old pentium 4 processor running at 3.0 ghz with 1.5 gigs of ram.
Will upgrading to a 4870 1gig version help alot in frame rates if i game at 1920X1080?
