What do you make of my following (unnescessary) upgrade choices?
Howdy all,
Thinking of treating myself to an upgrade. Some parts may not need to be upgraded (case etc) Just doing a bit of preliminary research and this is what I am looking at so far.
Current........................................Possible Upgrades
Motherboard:Asus P5Q.................Asus P6T
Graphics: HD4870.........................GTX 295 or HD 4890 or wait
CPU: Q6600.................................i7 920
Memory: OCZ PC6400 4GB.............Corsair Dominator 6GB PC3-14400C9
Harddrive: Samsung F1 1TB
Sound Card: X-Fi XtremeGamer.......Asus Xonar D2X 7.1
PSU: Corsair 620watt.....................upgrade needed?
Monitor: Samsung 22" 2026 CW
Speakers: Logitech Z-2300
OS: Vista 64bit
Case: P182 Limited Edition
Keyboard Saitek II........................Razer Tarantula/Lycosa
Any advice would be grateful. Some might say I don't need and upgrade but I do like to have my system up to date!
I am hearing great things about the xonar card but I am a bit worried with their performance in games.
Any recommendations for other parts welcome too!
