Worth upgrading?

[Felix E]

Just wondering, I have an A64 3700 on socket 754, with a 6800GT on AGP and 1gb memory, is it worth upgrading to this:

Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (CP-135-IN)
£97.99 £97.99

MB-061-GI Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-061-GI)
£91.99 £91.99

MY-034-GL GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 667MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB5300DC) (MY-034-GL)
£139.99 £139.99

GX-002-GC GeCube ATI Radeon X1950 Pro FZ SuperCooled TURBO SILENT TEC/Heatpipe 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-002-GC)
£144.99 £144.99

Total £568.60

Or should I wait until new cards and this new fangled DX10 thing come about? The above total is about the most I could ever spend.

Oh also, if I did do this upgrade, I have an Antec Sonata case - the first one with the 380W Truepower PSU - would that PSU be enough for the above kit or should I get a better one?
Thanks,

Does your current PC do everything that you want it to? If so then stick with it otherwise upgrade

You'd also need a CPU cooler because that one is OEM and a new PSU is probably a good idea as you might well be near the limit, remembering of course that PSUs become less efficient over time.

You have to ask yourself, what do you use your pc for, and is it doing these tasks at the moment or does it struggle.

Upgrading for the sake of upgrading is a very nasty bug Take it from one who knows.

If your willing to wait for Dx10 then im guessing there is no urgent need for an upgrade.

What are your main uses?

If you have a decent mobo then why not clock the 3700+. It should be good for at least 2.7ghz and more if you can give it some extra voltage. It will never be as fast as a Core2Duo but it will certainly tide you over until DX10 cards are out. Seems a waste to spend a lot on a card now when the new DX10 cards are just around the corner.
