Hey

So i was looking at upgrades a while a go and had a few in mind as to what i was going to go for. Unfortunately after just moving house money is a wee bit tight atm.

My current system is

ATI Radeon HD 6870

Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 High Performance '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

Current processor is a AMD phenom II x4 920 processor 2.8 GHz
With DDR2 6 GB ram

I did post a month or 2 ago and liked the options that were posted however with the house move had to spend money where i hadn't really planned to.

At the moment i can probably stretch to about 300 pounds. Is that viable to get any sort of noticeable improvement or should i be looking to wait and then splash out more when i get the cash available which may be a fair wee while away.

I am not looking for absolute top spec gaming here just enough to keep playing recent stuff is enough for me at the moment.

cheers :D
 
My mistake probably should have put it in the title that Ram was needed too.

At the risk of opening a huge can of worms, the i5 over the AMD worth spending the bit extra?

Overclocking is not something i have explored an awful lot as frankly id never really had the kit capable of it. How do these stand up?

thanks for the help as always makes things massively easier :)
