Ok I have been pondering this upgrade for a few months now and was wondering am I going to notice a huge difference in speed,performance and visuals with an upgrade? I strictly do gaming and not much of anything else. I am not really into overclocking and just want something fast and stable.
This is my current sysytem.
Intel Pentium D 935 Pressler 3.2ghz
Msi p965 Neo F
Wintec Ampo 4gb ddr2 800
Antec Earthwatts 500w
Visiontek HD3850 256mb
22" Westinghouse running @ 1650x1050
Now all I was thinking about upgrading for now was my case,motherboard and cpu. I can use my ram,video card and PSU for now and upgrade the rest to this:
Antec 900
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz
In the future [maybe alot sooner] a HD3870 or HD3870X2
So will I notice a huge difference with this upgrade or just a little or no noticeable difference? My budget is $500 for Case/Motherboard/CPU....the video card upgrade will come later.
