Currently I run:
Q9650 @ 4GHz; 8 GB (DDR2) RAM; 2x6850 (@850 MHz); Velociraptor + 2TB storage; 750 W Corsair PSU;
Bit background:
I was going for a CPU/Mobo upgrade because I was running Vista x64 and when in BF3 my CPU load was 95%+ RAM 6+GB... In the meantime I upgraded to W8 and now CPU is ~80-85% and RAM is ~4GB... (frame rates are bit higher as well now ~55 but before on the same map ~45-50 on 1920x1200)
So I decided to skip the basic upgrade and wait for Haswell performance number (and eventual drop in Sandy/Ivy)
Yet I have this itch for something new in my PC...
What is you opinion?
