Build is a bit old now and has been causing some problems so slowly replacing its guts.
New HD and OS has been installed, and got 8GB worth of DDR3 on the way to replace the 4GB of DDR2.
All that leaves is the GPU and CPU.
Ill be looking to max out games like BF3, but I am on a relatively low res of 1440 x 900.
Been looking at nVidia 560's, as my price range is around £150 for a GPU. Whats your feedback on this card?
Also, would it be better to invest in a more pricey version of the 560 that has a higher memory (2gb over the 1gb cards) or higher core clock?
And I may be looking into a new CPU, although I'm not sure if it would be needed really with everything else upgraded? Its still not a bad quad for today. Whats your reccomendations for a new Quad 775 socket CPU?
