Hi
I'm in a situation where I'm not sure if i need a full upgrade or just a new graphics card. i was pleased with my 4890 but am looking for silky performance on new games, i'm very fussy about lags in frame rates.
so i'm basically going for a top end card. My current system is running a Quad Q9550 overclocked to 3.80Ghz with 800mhz memory. i could probably squeeze a bit more overclocking out of it if i knew what i was doing lol.
will this be powerful enough or would you suggest i upgrade to a core i7 or something? my power supply is 650 so assuming i might need to upgrade that as well. im basically looking to get a GTX580 or wait for the 6900 series.
thanks for any pointers
