Hi all,
First my current specs:
CPU: Q6600
RAM: 4GB DDR3
Video: HD 3870
Board: ASUS P5E3 Deluxe
My HD 3870 card recently decided it had had enough. I have been tossing the idea around in my head of just putting together a new system, and this may be just the catalyst. I had read that it is best to wait for the Sandy Bridge processors to come out next year; so was going to skip an Nehalem upgrade and get a Sandy Bridge setup.
Now with my video card going, I'm not sure if I should just get a mediocre card (till next year) or go for something like a 5870 or GTX 265 and use that in a future rig.
What do you think?
Thanks
