PC Upgrade

[Funkyjazz]

Thinking about upgrade.

While i dont have a money tree in the backyard, ive got to choose.

1) I can buy a new MB. CPU and mem, still using my old GPU.

OR

2) i can buy a new GPU and wait with the rest...

Right now im flying with a Asus P5B, E6600 which is OC'ed to 3,40 GHZ, 2x2GB DDR2 800 Corsair XMS2 and the XFX9800 GTX+

Wanna go to a MSI P55 GD65, i5 750 or the I7 860, 2x2GB DDR3 1866 OCZ PlatinumLV. Offcourse im going to clock the CPU to 4,0 GHZ.

As GPU i wanna stay with Nvidia. Dont start off with better ATI cards ect. i know. Just wanna stay with Nvidia. Thinking about the ZOTAC 275 GTX.

As far as concerning LOMAC i think it would be better to upgrade the MB, CPU and mem. On the other hand, mid this year intel releases new I7 CPU's which are faster than the I7 860. But hey...that will always be the case. As soon as i buy Computerparts, its allready "old".

What do you think? Go for option 1 or 2...

Go for MB/CPU if you really wanna upgrade now.

 

Just don't buy a 275 GTX now. For whatever reason you don't want to buy an ATI, that's ok, won't try to convince you otherwise, but buying a 275 GTX now is imho pretty pointless.

 

Nvidia will release their new cards really soon. And by new I really mean their new cards, not their G92 which they relabeled 3 or 4 times by now (I'm sure it was atleast 3 times), without changing anything significant or even changing ANYTHING.

 

I don't know for how much 275 GTX go for where you live, but the new Nvidia cards will be very likely above that budget since Nvidia releases their Highend cards first.

 

So you're better of waiting or getting that new MB/CPU/RAM.

 

And ffs use paragraphs, otherwise it's murder on the eyes :P

Ordered a MSI P55 GD65 / I7 860 with OCZ DDR3 1866 Platinum LV mem.

Im just stuck with the 9800GTX+. Probably have a go for the 5850. There is nothing else left...would be nice if a third party would pop up.
