Things look minorly choppy with my E6300. I was wondering if I should go with the Quad Penryn when they are available in November, December or January. I was also going to replace my video card which is a x1900xtx (saphire). I thought I should go to DX10 now that DX has been around and prices have been falling lately.
I was looking to get Flight Simulator X and perhaps Guild Wars (its free). I might go to WoW and depending on how Star Trek Online turns out, I will get that (release date is sometime in 2008). Maybe I might go to EVE.
Anyway to sum it all up, I want to jump back into MMORPG's but want to make sure I have great framerates. Part of me thinks that yeah my system is great but I should upgrade in a few months. Is Vista worth it now?
*was thinking of getting a full tower (side window and pull out mobo tray) and new PSU
*maybe get the X-FI Fidelity gamer series
*artic freezer for new cpu
*Logitech G15 gamer keyboard and gamer mouse
*Thinking of getting Nvidia 8800gtx (ATI HD series doesnt seem to have mindblowing positive reviews like the 8800)
* I also heard there are NVidia 9800's and ATI HD2950's in the horizon? should I get either of these?
