I see the *OVERCLOCKED* AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz @ 3.80GHz / Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P Motherboard / OCZ Platinum AMD Edition 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600C7 Bundle
Is on offer at £339 that's £130 off.
I am still running an old socket 939 system with an over clocked Opteron 185@ 2.82 2gigs of PC400 mem with a 8800gt with a factory overclock. The rig is rock solid reliable,used for gaming and Internet mostly
Now the question is if I upgrade using the above mentioned bundle will the 8800gt be too much of a bottleneck?
My setup as it is plays every game I have at 1680x1080 [COD MW, HL2ep2,
Dead Space, and the like] flat out no problem, it even does well in the Resi Evil5 benchmark getting a B rating and an average fps of 52, not bad for a rig that is as old as this one
If I upgrade the setup will be getting a new Video card about Xmas time.
Would be dual booting XP Pro and Windows 7.
Worth the upgrade or not?
