Im planning a final upgrade to my computer... heres my specs
Abit IC7-G max2
Intel 2.8C
Corsair TwinX 2x1gb
ATI Radeon x850pro -> XT
2x WD 80Gb SATA in RAID 0
viewsonic VA1912wb (19'' widescreen)
scythe ninja with a large(width) 120mm Panaflo
I would overclock but the corsair memory is nowhere near as good quality as my last batch twinX 2x512...( I got it up to 3.4 w/ standard cooling before backing it off, now I can just hit 3.0 stable)
I need to know what upgrade would do the most for me? how much is my CPU limiting me? I believe that is whats limiting me but whats the best CPU I could still find? I don't think my mobo will support a Core procc, even though its socket 478. any ideas? the egg only has 3.0E's in stock.
EDIT: of course I will be using this for gaming... I will most likely NOT have the money in the immediate future for a new gaming rig and i looks like im going to be missing a LOT of DX10 stuff...
College is coming up and Im going to be broke and bored in a dorm room again. I want to be able to play games without lag.
