Ok thought I would throw this into the air for some advice, I looking at upgrading my PC again, yes I know I only owned it for 3 months but with the upcoming crysis I want to make the most of the game. For thou's who not seen the work log check out my gallery for pics.

I currently have an Intel E6700 clocked at now 3.6 for cooling thou will easy go to 3.7 but temps hit 55-60 on tat load, on 3.6 its stays below 50c now. My Ram is real cheap 2 gig nayna 667 MHz unable to OC much at all running at 700 MHz that’s all, with loss timing. And my 8800 GTS 640mb.

I want to go for one of two options really that’s in my price range, memory or CPU.

What would give the best gain, heading for a Q6600 and clocking it, as I got water cooling I would like to get around 3.2 - 3.5g on it? Or hit the memory and spend on some good ram for it, max spec would be pc6400 800 MHz I can use. My board is a MSI P6n SLI, and I use vista 64 bit.

So what you think I should do, and if ram, what ram would you say go for.

Cheers again.

*personally* i'd go with the QC, 4GB RAM, & as for GPU, wait to c what goes well with Crysis (like u mentioned) - then decide on benchmarks what u want - either bfb or outright best :D
