Hello, I'm looking into upgrading my current computer as I have a few bucks to spend. My purposes are almost entirely gaming, so that's what I would like the upgrades to be based around. Here's my currents system specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6850 (3.0GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1333 FSB)
CF-OCVENDETTA-775AM2 OCZ Vendetta Universal 775 & AM2 3 copper heat-pipes
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition + Service Pack 2
CS-TTVC3000BWSBLK Thermal Take Full Tower Steel Gaming PC case – Black
600 Watt - Thermaltake Power Supply SLI Ready
MB-IND975XBX Intel D975XBX 975Xpress Crossfire Chipset
4 GB OCZ Reaper 800MHz DDR2 Memory (2x2GB Modules)
500GB Hard Drive (Serial ATA II, 3GB, 7200 RPM, 16M Cache)
18x Double-Layer DVDRW/CDRW combo drive
NVIDIA GeForce HD 8800 GT 512M OC 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 1900MHz PCI Express x16 HDCP SLI Video Card
Integrated 8-channel (7.1) audio
On-board 10/100 Ethernet Connection
19-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Silver/Black
My budget isn't too high, it's around $300 max(lower would be nice though) and I would like to get the most bang for my buck.
P.S. I was mainly just interested in upgrading my CPU and GPU, but suggestions on other things such as the mother board would be cool also!
