Well....can I upgrade or should I wait untill I have a grand or more??
specs:
antec 480w PS
WD raptor 300g
WD SATA2 320g
WD SATA2 640g
Nvida 8800 GT OC
DVD burner, LCD Monitor.
keyboard, mouse, 5.1 speakers
ect....
looking to replace:
cpu & cooler, ram, mobo..
...maybe case and power supply...
the i7 920 & AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz
are only about $34 apart and I'd like 4+gb ram but I guess
I could live with 3gb for a while if I went with the i7 until
I could add more and I would get a much better video card
in the future also...
...I usualy O/C a bit (2.4ghz @ 2.92 right now) so it's GOT
to O/C well, I've had good luck with ASUS boards and tend to favor
them but willing to listen to suggestions...
...wife gave me a budget of $500...might be able to squeek a bit more
our of her...($700 absolute max - $600 much easier on nuts...lol)
Thanks in advance ( I know some of you are GREAT at this!!)
