hey thar! im relatively new to the forums but i been following for them for some time now, just a question is needed in what upgrade do you think i should get at the moment? right now i'll be looking to play bc2 and black ops mainly.

My current rig is:
nforce 680i Sli
Nvidia 8600 gts 256mb
Intel core 2 duo e4500 @2.2GHz
2Gigs ddr2 Ram

abit outdated i know, also being bit of a cheap skape around a budget of 100-120 quid

my first thought is upgrading my outdated CPU to the q8300

or instead, upgrading my video card to something along the lines of the 460 gtx

Or the 450 gts??

any help would be apprieciated thanks in advance :D
 
What PSU do you have and what brand is it? Getting the 460 is a good choice. I would also try overclock your CPU, it should be able to reach 3.2ghz.
I would say up the RAM to 4gb but seeing as it's DDR2 I won't say it's worth it yet and wait untill you have the money for something similiar to an i5 + DDR3 RAM.
 
thanks for the reply guys! not entirely sure on the brand on my psu pretty sure its a 500w tho, only thing worrying me about oc'ing my cpu is frying it to a pulp, my cooling is pretty mediocore, i have an old alienware area-51 model. :D

i think i'll 768mb 460 gtx for now as it does seem quite a big uprade for that extra eye candy.
