Hey guys, I have a quick question. I have some money(about $600 Yay vacation pay from last job =D) coming my way on the 15th of December, and I'm looking to do some minor upgrades for x-mas. Mostly for GTA4 for the PC, but to also extend the longevity of the system a little bit more.
Currently I'm running a C2D e6300 slightly overclocked to about 2.3Ghz, 4x1GB OCZ Gold DDR2800, 8800GTS 640 on an Asus P5B Deluxe. A couple of the upgrades I was looking at were the Q6600 (I know its a little older, but I'm fairly sure its the best fit for my motherboard) and an ATi HD4850.
So basically my question is, is this a decent upgrade? Any better options that I may be missing or should I say screw it and save it until I can do something a bit more substantial? Besides GTA4, I play L4D, CoD4, WoW and whatever else may be coming out that tickles my fancy. It only needs to play the games good at 1440x900, the res of my 19" wide monitor. Thanks in advance for your responses!
