Currently in the process of planning an upgrade. I should be ordering it over the weekend.
I'm looking at something like this:
i5-2500K @ 4GHz (using an Akasa Venom cooler)
Foxconn P67A-S P67 motherboard
4GB XMS3 1600MHz
1TB F3 HDD (7200RPM)
But I'm wondering whether I should upgrade my graphics card aswell at the same time. Reason being, I was originally going to stick with my current GPU (GTX 260, 216 core, 896MB) as I have only had it for just under a year and I assumed it wasn't too bad a card, even these days. But would I benefit significantly from a GTX 460 or something?
What do you think? Should I upgrade now with the rest of the system or wait till the new cards are released later in the year (as that was my original plan, to upgrade when the new cards are out and stick with the GTX 260 for now).
