Well, Ive only had this computer for nearly 2 years, so it almost seems insane upgrading so soon. But, games get better and better...
So, I wouldn't really need to buy anything like, optical drives, hard drives, memory (ddr3 isn't necessary is it?), etc ... I guess just a new processor and gpu, but with those, a new motherboard .. and a new PSU.
By buying anything other than a quad core I'd feel like I'm make a wrong buy ... but how much longer will the Q6600 last? Are there any upcoming processors I should be aware of? - I wouldn't spend anything over £200.
As for motherboards .. they're hard to decide on aren't they? Which ones are the good overclockable ones? Most stable ones.. and good for price.
As for the graphics card, I was thinking of going a little nuts and getting the upcoming HD Radeon 4850 .. but who knows.
Advice is greatly appreciated!
Edit: Oh, and what are the advantages of getting Vista?
