Hello all, I have had a good search around the forums and I have failed to come up with a solid answer.
I have a Dell 630i that I have been butchering and upgrading over the years and recently decided to Upgrade to an SSD, I got a decent performance increase, however I discovered then installing a 2nd would be a nightmare as my motherboard cant handle them correctly.
I have been researching Mobo upgrades and I almost feel that my 9400 is holding me back as its a 775 port - I'm only confused as on the Hierachy list it's clearly shows as a high performer.
Should I be looking for a new Processor to go with a new board or should I be looking for a board to fit the Q900 and accept that SATA 2 is fast enough for my moderate gaming needs?
Budget is a small factor, as I have already purchased a GTX660 and 2x samsung 840's, so I was looking for a new mobo and ram initially, however, if it's necessary I will be able to spash up to £250 on a chip too.. Hope this makes sense and sorry if I blabbered on.
