Gaming pc build questions

My Question is. I want to update my CPU/Processor and my Ram/Memory. If I do that will it boost my FPS While I'm gaming ?

My Computer is as of 2/21/11

Motherboard is: ASUS, M2N32-SLI, Deluxe
AMD Socket, AM2+/AM2
NVIDIA nforce 590 SLI
2xPCI-E x16 Slot,Nvidia SLI Support, At Fullx16x16 Speed
Dual Channel DDR2 800/667/533 Memory/Ram

CPU/Prossesor is: AMD Athlon (tm) 64x2 Dual Core Processor 6400+
Want to upgrade to : AMD HDX920XCJ4DGI Phenom II X4 920 Quad Core Processor

Ram/Memory is now:
Total Memory is : 3070MB
4 sticks total
2 sticks are: 1024MB,667mhz(speed) 64bit
2 sticks are: 512MB,667mhz(speed) 64bit

Want to upgrade to :
2 sticks total
2 Crucial 2048 PC6400 Memory and Ultra TherMax T5 Aluminum Memory Cooler Bundle.
2GB,DDR2 800MHz, DIMM, Contains Heatpipes
Video Cards:
I'm running 2 NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GT 1024MB GDDR3 PCI-E 2.0 Grafix's Card's running in SLI mode.

My question is. First, will it work ? and when gaming, will the upgrades boost
my open GL FPS ?

Hello kegga62;

What monitor resolution are you gaming at?
OpenGL? What games are we talking here?

The Memory QVL does not have any 2GB DDR2 800Mhz (PC2 6400) RAM similar to what you want to add.
It's all 1GB or 512/256MB sticks (except for 1 2GB ECC entry).
Since you already have 3GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM I don't think you'd get enough of a performance boost tossing out the 667Mhz RAM
and upgrading with 4 sticks of 1GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM.

Thanks

I looked at GPU's last night. Whats confusing me is the GPU Memory. GDDR5 and so on. My mobo is DDR2. Does that make a diiferance ? Ofcorse I'd have to buy 2 GPU's. SLI compatable . So I was thinking about buying 2 EVGA Geforce GTX Core. 216 Stream Processors. 896MB Video Memory. GDDR3, Momory Type. SLI ready.
One other thing. These cards are PCI-E 2.0 I'm not sure if they'll work in my mobo. Just them two cards are $419.98 Pluss S/H

I think I'd like this type of upgrade better and it would cost less.
AMD Athlon II X4 645 Propus 3.1GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core CPU $115
EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) 1GB Video Card $250

[quotemsg=2271827,9,54640]Don't worry about your MB RAM and your GPU VRAM. There is no connection or dependencies.

2x GTX 260 @ $420?
What screen resolution are you using?
What PSU do you have?[/quotemsg

Everything is set at 1680x1050 Res. except for Nascar Racing 2003 season. That game. It's set at 1280x1024 Res.
Call of Duty Black Ops runs great and I have all the eye candy, maxed. at 1680x1050 Res.
PSU ? Don't know what your asking me. But I think it's this. 650 Watt.

Do you know what OGL version the game best supports?
GTX 560 Ti is on OpenGL 4.1 GTX 260s are OpenGL 3.0

For 1680x1050 a single GTX 560 Ti should rock and will be fine with that 650Watt PSU.
Dual GTX 260s - we'd probably have to talk more about the make/model and age of that PSU.

So your saying my PSU might not support 2 GTX 260's running in SLI. Sorry I was wrong on what type of PSU I'm running. It's a, ULTRA XFinity DR Dual Rail Technology, Nvidia SLI Ready, 600 Watt ATX.

The certified PSU list over @ http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_build_psu.html suggestd a PSU like Ultra X4 750W would be right for a system with dual GTX 260s. There were a couple 700W PSUs that made that list but nothing lower.

We might need to think about a new PSU to support even a single GTX 560 Ti upgrade.

All the GTX 560 Ti will have the same power requirements and should be OK with your 3yr old PSU.

PNY would be ok at a very good price. How much would a PNY, Sparkle or Zotac cost over a EVGA, Asus or Gigabyte? Remember to figure in shipping, etc.
