Hi there.
present system:
p4 quad 9550
msi p45 diamond
6 GB 1333 ddr3
sapphire 2 GB radeon 4870
Corsair Professional Series HX750W
60GB ssd
The system keeps crashing in games after upgrading to win7
I have tried everything (drivers, bios, crashtests), but the problem seems to be the cpu core timings/responstimes.
So now I decided to give up and make an upgrade...
Thinking about:
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3, Socket-1155
Intel® Core i5-2500K Processor
RAM? My present are 6GB 1333, should I go all the way and buy 2133? or settle at 1600/1833, and how many?
I have read positive things about the Kingston Hyper X.
Are there anything you would do different; other chipset/processor
Shall I use the old RAM in the new system?
Shall i buy a new gfx, or 2?
The system is primary for gaming, but im not so freeky about the settings, just no lags!!
The current system performs very well (except for the crashing though!!)
I play games such as company of heroes, battlefield 2/ (and battlefield 3 I hope, if the system can handle win7)
I have a NAS, so the 60gb is only for system/games.
Will I get any extra performance for the ($500) money i spend on ny specs?
