I need help making a decision upgrading my current system:
Q6600 Stepping B Revision G0
HP motherboard (G33)
3GB RAM PC2-5300
EVGA 8800GT 512MB
Enermax Liberty 500AWT
2x320GB Raid 0 (System)
2x500GB Raid 1 (Data)
24" Monitor 1920x1200
42" 1080p TV (HDMI or Component)
WinXP (Win7 this fall)
Used 50% for gaming, 30% for media and 20% for office
I have $200-250 to spend now, and about the same next spring.
Right now, should I:
replace motherboard (GA-EP45-UD3R), RAM (G.SKILL 4GB PC2 8500 5-5-5-15), CPU fan and overclock
or
replace the 8800GT with a GTX260 or HD4870/HD4890
Thanks!
