To uprade or build new?
Last response: in Systems
so my current gaming system is:
ASRock P45XE
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5D, 2x2048mb
asus EAH4870/DK/HTDI/512M, 512MB GDDR5
1000 watt northQ psu
the memory became broken. and since they are out of production. i have been refunded approx 95 dollars.
anyhow i can't decide if to buy some new ddr2 and upgrade my case and hdd and etc. or build a new pc. and use the psu / dvd burner and etc. again.
the reason for a new case would be to overclock. better airflow and etc. to maximise the time i can use it to game new games with and i got only 500 gb. so new harddrive no matter what.
but maybe the 90 dollar is better spent towards a new pc. and maybe reuse the 4870. otherwise maybe 2 x 6950 in CF . this is a far more expensive solution though. but its a gaming rig. normally i wouldent have upgraded now. but in around 1 - 2 years.
what is your thoughts ?

Best solution
Auctually. Originally i was planning to add another 4870 (is why im on 1000 watt psu). But when i finaly do begin to feel the need for one more. They arent anywhere to find.
Not sure its easy to sell that old stuff. But i got an old psu laying around. So i could make a server out of the old pc or something. I got a media center pc already. Which i use for looking on internet / watch youtube and etc. So its purely a gaming rig this one![:)]( ":)")
