hi guys, im just one of those guys whose been blinded from time to time with new technology, and I've been dying already for an upgrade. So far im still using an antiquated system, ive listed my specs, feel free to laugh, i just want to have a friendly advice on upgrading my system, Im thinking of upgrading my cpu, mobo, ram and videocard to have a performance boost that would last me for another 2-3 years probably, ive been eyeing for these components, E8400, GA-EP45-UD3P, 2x2GB OCZ Gold XTC DDR2-1066 and Radeon HD 4850 512MB. . . i would like to retain my hdd, case and PSU if it still ok in your opinion. or should I just save up and invest on a Core i7 cpu/mobo and upgrade later. I use my computer for basic word processing, media playback, some gaming like DotA, WoW and COD4. thanks in advance guys
