Hey forum :)  Long time forum lurker and first time poster here.

I am wondering what you guys think might be the best upgrade path for my old Asus p5n-d with a Q6600 2.5Mhz Quad core Intel processor with 4gb of ram. CPU's supported by this card are long gone and not available for sale in my country(norway) so the only solution i can see is to OC the CPU and buy a new graphics card. Currently I'm using a Nvidia Gforce 9800 gtx +.

Any tips?

A GTX 750 Ti should work best for your rig.

Q6600 OC'd is still just about decent for gaming. What's your budget? I think you could get away with maybe a 270x

Open up case and check how many watts the power supply is.

In that case, a GTX 660 should work. You can find it on sale at some retailers, such as Best Buy.
