Hi guys!
I am looking at my options for upgrading my CPU and right now this is the cpu I currentyly have Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor BX80570E8400 along with this Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard . And when I built this system I was planning to replace it sometime in the future with a system built around an i5 or i7 but I don't think I will have the money to do that for a long so I am going to hopefully upgrade the CPU with a quad core CPU and hopefully add a second GPU. My question to you all is what are my options in the 250 dollar range for a new CPU? I have looked at the different options but I am looking for a proefessional opinion since this computer needs to last at least 5 more years. lol
Also where would I be able to buy SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card Because I would really like to have a crossfire setup for my gaming.
Umm if you all need a full hardware list let me know and I will make one. Thanks guys!
