Well, my westy is starting to show some age, and its about time to upgrade.
Im sure theres some users on here who have done the same, and the reason im asking for opinions is pretty simple: Once you have a giant ass fucking beast of a monitor, anything smaller is just dissapointing to say...
Alright, without going into too much detail, im just basically wondering if i will see a performance jump upgrading my processor.
I thought i would be running BC2 fine, but i can only run it 'playable' with my current rig. which annoys me. massive fps dips.

Non OC 4870x2, temps at 42c load fan speed set to 75%
Happens randomly and I cant figure it out, ive re-installed drivers, and gone to old drivers.
Typically the sound loops with it, dont know if that helps. While playing games...
Uhh, i kind of just noticed this happening under CPUZ, but it will pretty frequently change the multiplier from 6 to 11 on its own, even with 3 games running and lots of apps at the same time.
dropping from 3ghz to 1.6ghz

Up for grabs are 2 UNUSED about a month old, they have been removed from their box and installed into a new rig, but the rig has never been turned on or completed, just never got around to finishing it due to work.
I will be selling them as a package deal, no trades please.
As such, i...
just picked up the 16g model online, and now i want a speaker/alarm clock style dock. Been searching around a little bit and finding it hard to see any intelligent reviews on whats good and whats not. Price isnt a real big deal, but id rather not spend over 200 bucks.
that time again to begin a new build, going crossfire this time!
i want your opinion if you think a different part would be better
i already have a cpu at home to drop into these new parts
still kind of stuck on wondering if i should go with two 4870's, 2 4850's, or just wait and pay a...
