Hey guys,
First post here,
I just purchased a 9800gx2 and am running an MSI k9n diamond (1000 mhz FSB) and an AMD x2 2.4ghz processor. With 4 gigs of kingston 800mhz ddr2, sata 120gb HD (3 years old) and an 850w OCZ gameXstream (possiblity for 8 pin mobo connection)
I want to know if I should just spend 120 dolllars for the new processor keep the board, or go all out on an intel or amd quad core, or core duo and OC it to around 3.6ish... I am currently playing warhammer at 1920 res..... and am noticing my cpu (which I think is my cpu) under serious stress... So what should I do what will give me the most noticable difference and bang for my buck. My budget is 400-450 for board/proc any input would be very appreciated.
