CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W
regular hard drive- I hear getting a harddrive at 15k rotation is extremely helpful in FPS. is this true? when i do a windows system speed check my lowest score is my hard drive?
Questions:
1. What should i upgrade?
2. IF i upgrade my cpu what should i do? or should i wait for newer technology?
3. Will a 5870 bottle neck my computer?
4. If i upgrade my cpu i have to upgrade my motherboard, meaning new ram or not? wont new motherboards only except ddr3 memory?
please give me some suggestions..
