I'm thinking of upgrading my rig a little to 'futureproof' it for the likes of BF3, possibly the new MW3 and other games like SW:TOR etc. Right now I'm running an E8500 at stock, P5Q Pro Mobo, 4GB HyperX 1066Mhz RAM and a 1GB Palit 4870 Sonic Edition.
I can sell these parts to a friend and replace them with an i5 2500k, P8P67 Pro Mobo, 8GB G.skill 1600Mhz RAM and one of a few cards (1.5GB GTX 480 OC, 2GB 6950 Twin Frozr III, possibly 2 x 1GB 6870 or 1GB 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC) - all for the rough estimated spend on top of ~£200.
I need some help & advice. Is this a worthy upgrade as a whole, just in parts or not at all?
Any help is much appreciated!
