First off, I want to apologize if I have angered or upset anyone regarding my discussions of AMD vs Intel. I've got mixed up and carried away in quite a few threads. I realise that probably the best place to post concerning upgrading my current build would be here. Now that I have finally been able to find a website in my local area that can ship to me, that eases the process so here we go.
The rundown: I am selling my i3-2100, mATX B75 motherboard and 1x4GB Kingston RAM to one of my friends for the same price I purchased them. No loss in value, I am getting back my $205, which is the total cost of the bundle I'm selling.
The rest of my build consists of the following:
Sapphire HD 6850
WD Caviar Blue 500Gb 7200rpm
LiteOn DVD/RW
Corsair CX500
Thermaltake V3 Black Edition
Let's all start off fresh, I don't mean to upset anybody, especially at this special time of year. Merry Christmas to all of yee guys!
Approximate Purchase Date: January 2013
Budget Range: Starting at $205, which is the refund I'm getting for my parts
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming and video-editing, internet browsing, Youtube, Facebook, music
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, motherboard and RAM
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
http://www.softland.com.sa/index.php?route=common/home Shipping $10 for the whole package of parts
http://www.gltsa.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=25 Shipping $5 for the whole package of parts
Location: Saudi Arabia
Parts Preferences: No preference

SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: My current monitor is 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I am specifically using this desktop for
1) Simulators: iRacing, rFactor, GSC 2012, rFactor 2, Live For Speed
2) Games: Battlefield 3, Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed 3, Skyrim, COD MW3 and Black Ops II, Batman Arkham City, Amnesia, all of these modern games.
3) Video-editing: Editing my Fraps gameplay in Sony Vegas, multiple videos overlaying each other, rendering down from 1080p to 720p for Youtube.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
1) My friend is buying my parts off of me for full price
2) I am not really satisfied with the i3-2100's performance in video-editing and rendering
3) Since I have the chance to get a full refund on my CPU, mobo and RAM, I'd like to see what I can change / improve on.
