My current system:
[email protected]
ip35pro
6 gigs DDR2 800 [email protected]
8800GT
WD Caviar Black 1TB HD
It does all I need it to do right now although I am seeing SOME need for improvement in SOME games and know I'll need more video/cpu horsepower soon.
Options:
1) e8400 and overclock, wait for i5
2) 4890 and wait to go i5
3)e8400 and 4890 and wait even longer for i5
4)buy an i7 920 now and hold on to it till I can afford mobo/DDR3/new video card
My primary gaming is Source engined stuff so I have few problems now but I intend to play a lot of SC2 and a couple of games coming by year's end. Any suggestions or better options than I listed? The wife and I are saving up house down payment money at the moment so I don't do the constant upgrading like I used to do.
