Considering upgrading from....

[Guru]

My Trusty Q6600, P5K and 6GB RAM (DDR2)

If I could sell this on here and then put £100-50 ish to the cause would it be worth upgrading this lot if I only had about £300-£350 quid? Or should I just keep what I've got?

Thanks,

G

What do you do with your system and do you feel it isn't cutting the mustard?

Also, what cpu cooler, PSU, Graphics card, Case, OS and monitor are you currently using?

Just games tbh. COD4, MW2, L4D.

I also pre-ordered BFBC2 but because the P5K broke about 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for a new one from RMA I've not played the full game yet.

CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer Pro
PSU: 700w Fsp700-80gln
GFX: GTX285
Case: Some Silverstone job that came with the PSU
OS: Vista Ultimate 64
Monitor: Samsung 226BW

I think it deals with the mustard I'm just greedy and getting really bored of having no PC whilst I wait for this mobo.

Cheers,

G

TBH, I would stick with what you have. The minimum upgrade to see some real performance difference is an i5 750 system, this is reasonably costly and in games the difference will not be worth it.

Is your CPU overclocked?

Think it's at stock tbh. Might spend the £100-£150 on sound proofing if it's not worth upgrading yet.
