[Solved] What do you think of my setup?

i jus t want some feedback from the pros about my setup.my pc is plenty fast for me still.
c2q q6600 b3
gigabyte ep43-ds3l motherboard
hitachi sata 1 hdd 250gb
evga geforce 560ti superclocked edition
coolermaster storm trooper case
rosewill media card reader
samsung dvdrw burner
coolermaster hyper 212 evo
4 gb kingston value ram ddr23 667 (4 X 1GB)
pc power and cooling 650 watt psu silencer mkii


i would like some honest thoughts and suggestions.

It's still a decent little setup, though the Q6600 is not going to hold much longer, especally considering that most games (which is what i assume you're doing) are not yet coded to utilize more then two cores most of the time, and by the time that day comes the Q6600 will be far gone, as it's already obsolete and not powerful enough to truly run with todays games.

actually i use it for mostly basic stuff.i rip and burn dvds,very light gaming,and heavy internet surfing with mostly youtube.

If thats all you do then what the point of moving up to Ivy Bridge?

Then have at it.

If i had money to spend on new hardware i'd be doing the same.

Hold out till april before upgrading.

I think we are all in the same boat. I built an i5-2500 rig with SSD just for the heck of it. You can check my configuration for my awesome set-up.

yes this computer is about 5 years old now.it was originally a core 2 duo e6300,which i still have.i upgraded to a q6600 c2q.i have the original intel board as well,but upgraded to gigabyte.it is still pretty fast for me now.i say you can never have enough power lol.i wanted to get the new chipset motherboards so i have full compatibility

i know it is considered obsolete,but as i said its still plenty fast for me.i can wait a few months for ivy bridge.i would rather have the new chipset when it is released.
