Hi all,
I'm currently contemplating on whether or not to upgrade my current system or to hold off until the new Intel Processors are released next year. If I decide to hold off, would it be worth while upgrading my current graphics card to tide me over until I do upgrade? I mainly use my PC for FSX not really much other gaming.
My current system is as follows:
Q6600 O.C to 3.3GHz
ASUS P5Q Pro Motherboard
4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR 2 800MHz Ram
EVGA 9800GTX+ SSC Graphics Card
Corsair 650w PSU
2 x OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD one for the O.S and one purely for FSX
1x 500GB WD Caviar Black for large FSX add-ons such as REXe etc.
1 x 500GB Samsung Spinpoint F1 for documents etc.
I'm debating whether or not to upgrade now to:
i5 3570K with an Overclock of around 4.5GHz
ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 Motherboard
GeIL EVO Veloce Hot-Rod 8GB PC3-19200C11 2400MHz
Corsair Hydro H60 or H80 Cooler
Or buying a NVidia 660 GPU and a new monitor, as my current one only has a native resolution of 1440x900.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
