I currently have:
P4 2.4Ghz
Abit IS7-E
256Mb XFX 6600GT AGP
1Gb Twinmos PC3200 (4*256)
80Gb HDD
Enermax 330W
Coolermaster 201-B
17" Flatron L1710B (1248*1024)
Now an upgrade has been long overdue but I now have the cash to upgrade, but should I be waiting until after xmas as prices may come down? Obviously I'd like the GPU to be DX10 but this would mean just under half my budget would be spent on it. I am not an overclocker so I dont need performance stuff to do this but id like to run games at pretty high qualities, and I do like things to run pretty fast. I use the pc for pretty much anything, web development, internet, games etc.
So should I upgrade now or wait a month or two? If I do upgrade I don't need the following: Case, Keyboard, Mouse, Sound Card, Monitor (Ill be upgrading this at a later date).
I have my eye on a Core 2 Duo E6600, an nVidia GPU and a 250Gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10. (My budget would be around £800).
Thx
