So right now I have a pc with the following setup:
Gigabyte 965P - DS3 rev 1.0
Intel C2D E6400 @ 2.8Ghz
ATi HD 4870
OCZ 4GB DDR2-800
Ultra XVS 700W
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Antec Nine Hundred Case
and so my question is will upgrading to a new cpu (such as a q6600) be worth it for me right now? I am only concerned with gaming performance at high resolutions (1680x1050, 1900x1020). My motherboard will support quad core but not 45nm cpus like the e8400. So my options are:
get q6600 or something else relatively cheap now
keep setup as is and wait and get new mobo and i7 in a while after price drops
