some future upgrades.

[xenoasd]

im deciding on some future upgrades.. im not sure what to upgrade, hope u guys can point me to the right direction.

1. motherboard - i love my p5b-deluxe, served me well. but since new processors are comming out, should i bother upgrading the motherboard to a newer chipset?

2. wc setup? - i been always wanted to hook up a wc setup, but never gotten a chance to buy parts, it was either too complicated or too expensive. sure i love my ultra-120 x, does a great job cooling my 3.6 e6600. is it worth it to have 20C load temps?

3. video card (SLI?) - like again, i been tempted to get SLI. alot of people say its not worth it, some people do. i only have a 19 inch tho i always wanted that little extra performence. its kinda ironic that i want sli but i tell people dont get it. is it really worth it to get that extra fps?

4. PSU? - i always been lurking around at ncix.com to find specials. usually i been looking at the pc-power and cooling 750w. is my corsair 520w be enough for the future?

5. PC Case - dust dust dust. really cluttered... first priorty?

6. CPU - 3.6 e6600 has done me well, when i first bought it here from xs. very good chip indeed. but would it keep up with the 45nm cpus? should i bother upgrading to a 45nm quad for that awesome quad core performence?

7. misc - fan for my ram? new fans for my antec 900?

i say your PSU could use an upgrade.

for your mobo and CPU, i say you are good right now and have tons of power. i don't think it is worth the money to upgrade right now unless you have someone that would buy it off you or a family member that could use a new PC.

also i am pretty sure that the current core 2 cuo mobos will work with the new chips but don't quote me on that

also watercooling couldn't hurt but that money might be better spent on a new mobo or a new 45mn in a month or 2

yeah asus has release info about current mobos supporting 45nm. but wouldnt it be better to upgrade to a better chipset?

yeah it probably would help but i would wait till some reviews start coming out before buying one.

should i be bother with SLI? should i keep my video card for now? im so tempted about the 8800gt.

you video card is good and do not bother with SLI unless you can get 2 640 MB 8800 GTSes at least

if you are within the time limit for the step-up program i say get a 640 MB 8800 GTS or a 8800 GTX

i was thinking.... about the p35 chipset. will i see anything difference between p965 chipset and p35?
