I'm looking to upgrade my system over the next few months and would like to do it stages. My current setup is:
Phenom II X4 945
ASUS M2N-SLI mobo
4GB ddr2 800 ram
750W Cooler Master PSU
x2 GTX 560ti in SLI
My rig, obviously, is starting to suffer with more modern titles.
From what I can tell/gather my phenom is still a fairly decent cpu for gaming. I can get a AM3+ mobo and some DDR3 ram and then drop that phenom into the board.
I'll eventually upgrade to an FX-6350 or 8350, but I can do the mobo/ram upgrade fairly immediately and it would be a step in the right direction. I'm looking at the 990fx chipset for sure, maybe the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX.
Can anyone ballpark what kind of performance gains I could expect to see from just a mobo/ram upgrade?
