my PC is now 3 years old, so time "tells" me it's time for any upgrade. however, i OC'd my e6750 last year to 3.4 and upgraded to a radeon hd 5770 and i get a 3dmark06 score just shy of 15k, plus i can play bfbc2 with medium settings and almost 0 lag and it looks great. i think with an upgrade i would get better games and graphics, and especially so because i'm getting a little bored with bfbc2.
nevertheless i guess my question is how do you or how would you gauge when an upgrade is necessary or just when a good time for an upgrade is? in my mind i'm thinking when i can double my 3dmark score with a mild OC on a new chip, i should upgrade. however, that might be a while. thoughts?
