Right basically I need some advice, I have a pretty sweet rig as it is, and I am giving some serous thought to a major tweak to my little rig so to speak. I am gonna have to spend money on a new rig for the missus anyhow, and spending a little on mine at the same time.
This is what my rig is currently.
Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6
Conreo E6600 OC at 3.19GHz
2 Gig of Generic DDR2 Memory
Nvidia 7600 GT
2x 80 Maxtor SATA2 HDD
2x 320 Maxtor SATA2 HDD
Generic IDE Raid Card
Standard PSU 550 Watt
Now these are the upgrades I am thinking about.
1. To upgrade the processor to a q6600
2. To upgrade the graphics to a 8800GT
3. Finally I am thinking of replacing the 2x320GB HDD to 2x500GB
Right I have done some research, and I have checked that my rig can support these upgrades, and I have not found a reason why I should not be a able to, the only reason why I would not have is cos I needed to update the BIOS, which I have done this a few days ago, and my rig seems to be operating the same as before. Would the power supply be a possible problem?
Basically what I want to know, if you had my rig would you do it, and the reasons behind why you would or would not upgrade your rig.
