Okay, I've been thinking a lot lately and I know I want to either build a new system or just upgrade this one into the new system.
My current system
Mobo: Gigabyte's P31-ES3G
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual core E5200
Memory: 3gb DDR2 800mhz
Graphics: Ati Radeon HD 4850
I've been reading a lot and learning a lot and what it seems there's all the stuff going on with the new intel new LGA 1155 chipset I figured upgrading this rather than building a new. now cause I read the newer motherboards coming out beginning of next year and I don't know a ton about it. But I figured I'd be best wait a while for intel to fix all the issues and provide more stability with the new stuff coming out. Anyways, Moving along The only things I'd do a ton of are All of blizzard entertainment's games. from Diablo, Starcraft 2 and World of warcraft. I don't know what I'd need when Diablo 3 comes out and I want to be able to run my computer with full graphics and such and get minimum lag and strong stability. My girlfriend will mostly jut be watching HD video. So if anyone could offer some input on where I should go. I've looked into some upgrade for my current system and come up with a Q8400 cheaper for short term upgrade and some new ram. Would upgrading motherboard be worth it or those two be good enough till the new stuff next year?
