Hi,
I came into a bit of cash and am considering an upgrade as I've noticed my CPU topping out when I stream games, and this seems to be causing lagging in my stream. I'm thinking about upgrading the CPU, the motherboard and possibly the RAM as well. My build and my current possible upgrades are listed below. I'm currently overclocked to 4Ghz.
Any comments welcome!
