Hi and TIA for your input.
I have ~$175 burning a hole in my pocket and plan to drive down to Microcenter tomorrow to get something shiny and new.
My rig:
GA-EP45-UD3L
4gb G.Skill 1066 DDR2
e8400 @ 3.6
Corsair 650w PSU
EVGA 8800GTS 640mb
500gb WD HD
ACER 22" LCD @ 1680 X 1050
My son and I game...Fallout 3, WoW, GRAW, CoH, AVP and some others.
My system is getting dated but I don't plan on a major upgrade anytime soon, just feel like spending some $$. Should I be looking at a Quad (q9300 is $149) or a new GPU (HD 5770 is $169) ?
Or are both ideas lame?
Thanks again.
