Hello All.
I am a gamer, mainly PC, and I am just itching to upgrade SOMETHING. The question is WHAT?! I was hoping some suggestions from some of you all might help me decide that much better. Currently I am running the rig you see below in my signature, with some logitech stuff like speakers, mouse, keyboard, and various storage drives, so these things are not my concern.
Should I invest in a 1366 MoBo, then get CPU, DDR3 and leave an upgrade path for the future? Or will this be rather obsolete, given with the future CPU's. Shortly after or on their release will they soon be on a new form factor anyhow rendering the MoBo all but obsolete?
I was considering a new video card for SLI, but I haven't really seen that i need that too terribly, plus I just bought the GTX 275 I am using less than 2 months ago. Plus I don't see the need for a Physx card, just not enough application at this time to convince me to buy one.
Considering a SSD quite seriously, the Intel X25-M 160GB seems like the best choice, but for $600 hard to justify, though possible, it's just this thing in the back of my head keeps saying how soon the technology will mature enough for that price to drop quite a bit.
So what else? I now there must be something worth a nice little investment right now, but I definitely need help discovering what that is. Please advise!
