Hi,
Im looking to upgrade the core of my pc very soon, needing it for about 50/50 games vs graphics (photoshop, 3ds max, CAD etc.). My current setup is:
Athlon 64 3500+
Asrock Dual SATAII Mobo
1GB Geil RAM
7900GT
Antec NeoHE 550W
2x80GB Seagate in Raid0
200GB Seagate
Obviously the CPU, mobo, and RAM are the first to be upgraded, and after alot recent, annoyingly slow work in photoshop, its needed.
I am looking at the following upgrades:
Intel Q6600
4GB OCZ System Elite 800mhz
Gigabyte P35-DQ6
I know 4GB seems overkill, but for graphics and mutlitasking it will help i know.
So basically what do you guys think? Is it worth getting the Q6600 if i can afford it, or would it be better to wait for the next AMD release (ive heard its months away yet)??
