I upgraded my PC last Dec/Jan, and the same time the year before. Each time I managed to get a really good price for my old parts and managed to grab a real bargain on some used (but almost new) kit.
It's almost that time again but I am wondering if there is anything really worth upgrading - my spec is in sig.
I went from:
Asus A8N-SLi Premium
Aopen 7800GT
2GB OCZ Gold 3200
Athlon 64 X2 3800
74GB WD Raptor
to (in 2008):
Asus A8N-SLi Premium
8800GTX
2GB OCZ Gold 3200
Athlon 64 X2 4600
74GB WD Raptor
to (in late 2008):
Asus Maximus Formula X38
Q9450 2.66Ghz @ 3.4Ghz
4GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-8000
GTX 260
500GB Seagate
to (in late 2009):
current spec
The SSDs in RAID-0 were the biggest noticeable upgrade. As usual I have been completely out of touch with hardware for another year - is my current spec still upto scratch? Is it even worth upgrading anything?
Thanks
