this is what i was planing on getting

e6600
asus p5b delux/wifi-ap
2 gig corsair xms 2
seagate 300 gig sata

my current card tell i get the g8

That would be a very nice upgrade. I'd say go for it if you have the cash.

 

[jeff34]

it would be all the money i have currently saved up also what do you think i could get for my current system?

 

[gmanych]

Go for it... i would. The E6600 beats the 3500+ by a long way. And good thinking for waiting for the 8800GTX

it's a very good upgrade... I would do the same thing if I had the money, but I would honestly wait to see what the holiday buying season is going to look like. The 88 series is going to be very expensive... and I have read rumors about a xmas pricing war between the 2 giants again... so who knows.. you might be able to score as an xmas gift to yourself.

or i could save a little money by getting
amd x2 4800
74 gig raptor
300 gig sata
7950gt card

whold that be a sufficient upgrade?

 

[KBlair]

It wouldn't be nearly as powerful as the E6600 upgrade, but it is still an upgrade nonetheless.

the e6600 would be like an AMD X2 9600 when OC'd to 3.8ish.

 

[jeff34]

i think im going to try to pull the e6600

for ram i was thinking corsair xms2 pc6400 $300

what do you guys think?

 

[jeff34]

anybody?
