I have the QX9650 Quad Extreme CPU and was wondering if anyone here is still using theirs with a powerful modern card. Has anyone been running a clocked version then spent out on a new generation CPU to find that it wasn't worth it, or is the opposite true, did you change to an i5 or i7 and it blew you away with how much better it was. I am on a very tight budget and don't want to waste money on a modern card if my CPU is holding it back.
