Upgrade Time

[WldWzl]

Just curious if anyone has thoughts on this, I am planning on using the memory listed in my signature, unless there is a compelling reason to upgrade it as well.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale
ASUS P5Q Deluxe
SAPPHIRE 100243L Radeon HD 4870 512MB
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W
LIAN LI PC-A05B

Upgrade time? I'd save that money for Nehalem instead. I doubt you'll notice much of a difference unless you're running that chip at stock.

What do you have the E6750 clocked at?

Those ballistix should OC to DDR2-1000 speeds easily, allowing for a 4.2Ghz OC on that E8500.

All you really need is a video card and (possibly) a power supply upgrade, if at that.

Otherwise, I agree with enginurd -- overclock your stuff first.
