I know upgrading from q6600 is all over the internet i've read a few they haven't quite convinced me either way and they are old Ivy was not just around the corner then.
Well my spec is as follows:
Q6600 @ 2.5 ghz (i played with it a little need to buy better cooler)
Asus P5K
2GB ddr2 800mhz RAM
500W Enermax PSU
AMD Radeon 5850
I'm looking for a build of ram CPU and Mobo around 400$ trying to keep as much of the parts i already have.
processor i think a 2500k would be somewhere around what im looking for since this machine would be used for gaming but idk. w/ 8gb ram
kinda don't wanna spend 400$ if the improvements in games will be minimal (everything is running fine tho Crysis 2 had no issues).
How big of a difference do you thing the new parts would make? if any real improvement.
thanks in advance CannonFodder
