Hi i have about £500 to spend on upgrading my PC, but i'm not sure if to bother to yet. I could get water cooling and overclock futher? Or wait for the Phenom II's with DDR3? Opinions?

I play games mostly but i also do photoshop and other media programs.
 
I play most often older games like CSS and TF2 but i still play thorugh single player on games like Crysis and Farcry2. I only have a 1360x768 Moniter so my Graphics Card is not to much of a problem.

Is that Asus Rampage Formula one of these Asus motherboards that you hear a lot of problems with?

Also a DDR3 with a Q9950 wouldnt work would it?

I would like a new screen but i got this as i gift for xmas (didnt ask for it :P) and so it looks bad if i just buy another one.
 
Dual Screens isnt a bad idea :) RAM 4X1Gb sticks. CPU not BE :(. I got a problem with the cooler as on the mobo capastiors are in the way for after market coolers so maybe a new motherboard might be good to. I am going to buy a G15 mouse is ok. Also only just got this Samsung drive. Thanks for the ideas :D :D :D
 
Well i have only looked at the Noctua site which says i doesnt fit and on the Arctic cooling site i need to bend the mounting plate a bit so it says. Also i have so low profile ram in two of the slots the ram is about as high as the clips.
 
Checked the sythe site its only shows one mobo close time my model on one the compatability list and even that says Unknown :(
