hi all
i have had this rig now a few years & it runs smooth still, but i would like to play my games bf2, mw3, the stalker series & more maybe with better eye candy ?. but the games run nice now so do i really need to upgrade or should i hold out for a year or so & buy the next new thing ie a new rig in a year or 2 ?.
i was thinking about getting a new gpu maybe a 570 gtx zotac amp & maybe a Intel Core i7 960 3.20Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) cpu as it sounds nice on paper..... or maybe the Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz (Bloomfield) ? but which of these is best ?.
however i do not want to spend more then say £400 tops.
cheers
