Upgrading

[Solemn]

Evening all. Well looks like i can finally upgrade to an i5 WooT


Looking for some advice on if my components sound Ok.... ta in advance!


Current system:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - Core 2 Quad @ 3.2 - Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR - 8GB 8500C5 - XFX 5870 ATI - 500mb WD HDD - SilverStone Raven V02 - Samsung P2450H 24" - Logitech: G500, G35, Wave - Custom water-cooling Loop

More details here First time water cooling project



Getting:

CPU: i5 760 (costing me about 125)
Mobo: ASUS P7P55D-E LX (hoping about 50 / 60)
Memory: CORSAIR 4GB (2X2GB) XMS3 DDR3 1600MHZ (costing me 60 i think, still looking around for somehwere cheaper)
VGA 2: Nvidia GT220 for deadicated PhysX (about 50) Can you maybe susgest a better / cheaper option?


I'm also changing my water cooling to have two loops instead of one. which means I'm getting rid of my XSPC Pump/Res combo (to be honest its pretty rubbish) and replacing it with two XSPC Single bay res' and two MCP355 Pumps



Any tips or advice on my choices, much apperciated.

so you already have an overclocked quad core and want to get a i5 system? dont bother.

I agree with stulid.

Get an SSD and be happy.

I want another card for deadicated physX and my current board only has one PCI Express 16 so i would need to get a new board anyways.

Also isn't DDR3 much better than DDR2?

Do you actually play any games that use PhysX?
