Upgrade time!

Current Spec:

Neo 550w PSU
Asus P5N-E
E6400 @ 3.0ghz
4gb 1066 Ballistix (running at 800mhz)
8800GTS 640mb
2x250gb Seagate 7.500.1 (i think)

Any suggestions on the next upgrade i should get?

Looking at possibly getting a new motherboard and a Q6600 and then working on a new graphics card?

Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.

What do you mainly do with your rig? Looks decent enough as it is

SLi that card would give you a big gaming hit though

Improvements/upgrades can probably always be made to anyones rig, but if it ain`t broke .....

Mainly do gaming.

I recently found i struggle to play crysis on the recommended High setting, so before i got into the game (played 10mins) i stopped.

I would say upgrade to something at least to a ATi 4870. And probs try to get the ram at 1066 unless . . .

Well i need a new CPU to get the ram to run stable at them settings.

E6400 is a 800mhz chip.

Can`t go wrong with this or this. Get another 8800 and SLi.

Upgrade the rest if you like, higher rated FSB mainboard etc etc but for what, better benchmark scores?

Crysis on Very high and future proofing.
