I currently have a e6300, DS3, and a BFG 7800GT i want to upgrade to a Q9450 when there released and iam thinking of matching it with a ASUS maximus board.
Iam a little stuck on what to do about the graphics card, i could either buy a 3870 x2 or wait for the new 9800 series :confused: and also iam thinking of water cooling but i have no idea whats the best kits at the moment.
One last quick question, i have a seasonic M12 600w, will this be enough to power all this as ive got a feeling it might struggle.

Thx in advance
 
So i suppose an ultra would save me a bit of cash?
I use my comp mostly for gaming and normal pc work, what about the processor? should i go with that ( Q9450 )
 
I kinda feel that the e6300 is getting long in the tooth, i have 4 gb of geil and i dont feel i can push anything with the current processor and its only 1.8 ghz per processer as the Q9450 and is 2.66 ghz per processor and has 4.
Its all going to be connect to a 24 inch monitor ( think i'll go with the samsung unless someone recommends anything better )
 
I think i'll go with the CPU upgrade as i think iam going to get a big boost in performance and it should work better with the bigger g card.
 
Infact ive been reading a few review and iam going to go with the core 2 duo E8400, i dont think i'll take advantage of 4 cores while just gaming and browsing so it would be a waste.
Seems like the E8400 is very good and is the better buy but i thought the GA-965p-DS3 only supported chips up to 1066mhz FSB or does the new Bios take advantage of the extra FSB of the new models?.

So do you think its worth getting a Q9450 or E8400 or just keeping what ive got? its just ive seen a few post that say the memory holds back the cpu if you have 4gb of geil.
Kind of really stuffed at the moment on what to do.
