First off i dont have enough money to go to SandyBridge new build. Prolly not for a while. I know for shame.
But i was wondering if this upgrade would help me significantly.(at the right price of course)
I'm running an e8400 at 3.6ghz and can go to 4.0ghz also.
Would i gain much improvement if i went to a used q9550 with an over clock?
Also what would you think a fair price for a used potentially overclocked Q9950.
I intend to play games such as BF3 Black ops etc. I have a 6870 gpu on the way.
