    Thanks. I wondered if the quad core at 3.0 would be ok or if i needed to go up to the 3.5

    6950 vs. 560 ti and 1gb vs 2gb?

    So obviously I need to rethink this all... So the best upgrade path would be CPU -> GPU -> monitor? Is the number of cores on the CPU the bigger issue or the speed or both? I'm trying to add up the best combination for the money I have. I can probably do $300 on the cpu/gpu now and in...

    Upgrading 8400GS

    HAHA sorry i didn't comprehend... guess it was late. I wouldn't mind upgrading mine and giving the 8800gt to her, but I have a feeling it's not in my budget to do so. My specs are: Athlon x2 250 regor 3.0 dual core Biostar A880g+ mobo 4gb GSkill DDR3-1333 ram Windows 7 Either way...

    where to buy older CPU

    I was thinking http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103903 if it's going to accept an AM3 cpu. It's considerably higher wattage however. Current CPU has a TDP of 20, this one is 65. I'll open the case to see if it looks like the retail HSF would fit.
