[iPROTechman]

before I start just wanna say, epic skin, so nice, sorry I haven't been on much recently I've been active on another forum (Boo) Because it's a place where I buy from and u get discount but I'll get active here again.

Hope you missed me

Current rig is:

Asrock N68C-S UCC
|Corsair 2GB XMS2 DDR2 Ram @ Stock
|AMD Athlon 6000+ @ Stock
|XFX ATI Radeon 5770 @ Stock
|Seagate 250GB Barracuda 7200RPM Sata HDD|100GB Partition for OS|150 for Data

|Casecom 6788 Case
|Thermaltake 450W Modular PSU

I've got around £200 atm, I'm owed £80 aswell.

Should I bother upgrading now or wait until sandybridge/bulldozer?

Friend offered me an i3 and board for £70 and I could get 4gb ddr3 corsair 1600mhz for £44

OR i could get an X6/Use my current board/get 4gb ram.

or just wait?

Because my thoughts were that an i3 wouldn't last very long as it wouldn't be futureproof. I don't wanna have to upgrade for like 2 years

I'm also upgrading PSU next month.

I MISSED YOU!
Get a Phenom II and DDR3.

 

[iPROTechman]

Which phenom I could afford the X6 1055 + 4GB Corsair XMS3 1600MHZ Ram. Or I could get an i7 950 for £150 >_>

 

[Abstract Hero]

Well how much do you want to spend?

 

[iPROTechman]

As much as I have to to get an upgrade that'll last 2-3 years

In 2 or 3 years even the best out now will be borderline obsolete. I would go with a i7 950, a LGA1366 mobo and 6GB (3x2GB) of DDR3 1600.
