hey guys, looking to do a 2 step upgrade from my ageing pc futureproofing it for at least 2-3 years. main usage is gaming[BF3 soon] and general browsing/music. I would say my budget is 700-800 over both stages, i have 250-300 of the budget to spend right now.
current spec
Q6600G0 @ 3.2Ghz
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
PNY 8800GT 512MB
Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme
4x1GB XMS2 Corsair 800Mhz DDR2
reuse- 2x500GB Samsung F3 SATA HDD[Raid0]
reuse?- OCZ ProXStream 1000W PSU [4x6pin PCIE]
reuse - Antec 1200
reuse- Viewsonic VX2268WM
reuse- 1x Liteon DVDRW SATA
i think that id be best served with upgrading the 8800GT to tide me over until funds permit a sandybridge/bulldozer setup in the future. i have mouse/keyboard. windows7 x64 and headphones, as well as 2x120mm Xilence Redwing fans for the Antec 1200.
I look forward to your suggestions
cheers andy
