Hi guys.
im currently running a system composed of....
Asus Striker 2 Formula = mobo
8gb corsair ddr2 800mhz = ram
gtx 260 OC = graphics card
q9400 775 = cpu
m850w Cooler master PSU modular. ( no issues as far )
Parts i have to upgrade with at the moment
8 gb ddr3 performance ram..
5700 radeon graphics card.
Currently my computer runs well however some games hang a little such as mass effect 2, front mission evolved etc.
I attempted to upgrade to a 5700 Radeon but i ended up with bizzare graphical issues and my motherboard refused the card.
What i am wondering firstly guys is.... what graphics cards can i upgrade to with my asus striker 2 formula?
and is it worth upgrading my motherboard to another 775 board that supports ddr3 ram? or should i just wait to upgrade all the way to an i5 or i7 architecture/mobo/cpu
sooo yeah... any info would be appreciated im trying to work out what to do. just graphics upgrade... mobo + ram + graphics but keeping cpu... only purchasing a mobo.... or buy new mobo and cpu
