Hello,
I'm on a tight budget and I want to upgrade my PC to be able to run The Witcher 2 and GTA 4 at 1080p with most options set to high (and be ready to run Battlefield 3 and Skyrim). Currently I have:
Q6600 OCed to 3.2Ghz (Can't get past that speed)
4GB DDR2 800Mhz
Gigabyte cheap-ish P35 MOBO
ATI HD 5770 1GB
I need to decide whether to upgrade the CPU or the GPU, as I don't have the money to upgrade both. My main options are:
1.- Core i5 2500k + P65 MOBO + 4GB 1033 RAM ($480-ish)
OR
2.- ATI HD 6870 Video Card. ($270-ish)
(Both prices are the best I found here in Mexico)
What do you guys think will provide a better performance increase?
Sorry for my English.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
