Guys I am going to upgrade my motherboard , cpu and gpu. This month it will be my CPU and Motherboard are being changed. Then next month or the month after ( I will have the moneys next month) I will upgrade the GPU.
First of all is it realy worth going with a quad core Intel or should I stick with a dual core? I ask this because theres not many games using the power of the quad yet. Secondly Should I go with a motherboard with P35 chipset or X38 chipset? . As far as I can see theyre just as good as each other but the only main difference is the X38 chipset is tri sli.
a rundown of my current setup
CPU: AMD X2 6000 @ 3.4ghz
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair
Ram: Corsair Dominator DDR2 8500 (1066mhz)
Graphics: Gainward Bliss 8800 GTX (Nvidia)
Powersupplies: 550watt for fans and harddrives , 650 watt for motherboard and graphics
Case: Antec P190
Harddrives: 250GIG SataII and 500 GIG SataII
CPU Cooling: XSPC X2O Pro WaterCooling Kit Info
Now I am narrowing down my choices to the following
