Hi trusted OCUK peoples!
I have been bitten by the upgrade bug but am a) so out of touch am not sure if I'm on the right path and b) am not sure whether it would be worth it so am looking to you for help!
Upgraded in Feb 2010 to -
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66GHz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard
Geil Black Dragon 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Triple Channel (GB36GB1600C8TC)
Corsair TX 850W ATX SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-850TXUK)
and an ATI 5850HD (can't find the exact specs).
Have now started looking at the Socket 2011 stuff as I tend to try and future-proof as much as possible but am wondering how much gain will I really get with this and is it worthwhile upgrading to something else.
Budget isn't too much of an issue - around £800-£1000 I reckon.
Apologies for the vagueness of it all but hoping I can get a bit of help
Thank you all
