Hey guys, ive come into a bit of money and i have been having an itch to upgrade my system a bit.
so, here's my 3 choices.
A) Get a new mobo, processor & memory and move up to an I7 setup.
probably gonna be:
I7 930/950
Asus Sabertooth x58
and 6x2gb of ddr3 for 12gb of ram.
Gonna run me close to $700 for the upgrade
B) Upgrade my HDD's to something that didnt exist in the stone age.
Intel X25-M 80gb SSD x2 in raid 0
and
WD 1tb Caviar Black
~$550 for this upgrade
or
C) Upgrade my graphics card setup to a new next-gen card
aka 6870/6970 or w/e the new flagship is going to be.
probably gonna run me like $400/500 for this.
so what do you guys think would be the best performance increase for the money for me?
my current specs are in my sig.
