I currently own a Q6600 Go at stock clocks. Unfortunately i have a low end motherboar that dosent allow me to oc. So i want advice on whether i should upgrade to a better mobo and cpu combination or just buy a new motherboard and oc.
1> i do cpu intensive tasks such as encoding, ripping, graphics design and heavy gaming (atleast 3 hrs per day).
2> i can spend a maximum of 400 - 450 $ for cpu, mobo and ram( planning to go ddr3).
3> i have a seasonic 620w psu and ati 5850 gfx.
4> also advice on a good mobo and ram that can let me oc to atleast 4ghz on air (using cooler master hyper 212+).
based on cpu reviews i have shortlisted some products but am confused :
a) core i7 930.
b) core i5 750.
c) phenom 2 1055T
d) core i7 860.
please advice 2 sets of configurations as availibility might be an issue. any help is much appreciated.
