Hi.

i would like to ask you guys for your advice. i need to upgrade my system. its about time..
current system:
MSI P35 PLATINUM
INTEL QUAD-CORE Q4400
5GB PATRIOT DDR2
SAPPHIRE RADEON 6950 2GB
Samsung SSD 840 PRO 256GB

i love this comp it has been both realiable, kinda powerful and it's been for around 5 years with me. i only changed the memory wich died. it was a cheap one at the beggining so now, i want to upgrade the mainboard, cpu and memory for now, my Budget is around $500 USD for all 3 parts.

i am not sure wich would be the best in terms of performance, stability realiability versus Price. hence i decided to ask you guys.

i am more keen into Intel. since it's been so robust for all this years. yet i am open for amd if it seems worth it.

hmm thank you for your quick answer. but i was looking really into something more specific. with some thoughs on the Budget.

btw the mainboard i have sucks with it's sata ports placement. my currenv vid card sapphire radeon 6950 2gb blocks like 4 of them. so please have that in mind.
