2008 spec vs 2010 spec

[Nate Silvers]

Thinking about upgrading my PC I built in 2008. Is it a good time?

Got top motherboards CPU/RAM ect in 2008. Got £600-700 to spend this year. I won't get top notch stuff again (would love a Rampage III) but will it be worth upgrading?

My old PC:
Intel Q9450 @3.2
Rampage Formula
GTX 9800
4GB Dominator RAM

New spec:
Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
6870 ATI
OCZ Gold Low Voltage 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C10 2000MHz Triple Channel

anyone got a better spec for £700? Don't need PSU, HDD, Monitor ect just the guts.

Yeah mainly gaming and video production. I'm gonna give my girlfriend my current PC and already got an SSD I dunno if I can hold onto £700 for 3 months got my eyes set on a DLSR.

Computer is still really fast except certain games like Gothic 4 are starting to slow down, have to drop to 720P @25-30FPS.

Okay think I might wait and hope I get another job soon. This is the PC my girlfriend picked it's more money than upgrading mine and handing it down.
