Hello, I am vaguely thinking about making the CPU/MOBO/RAM upgrade for my custom rig.
This is my current setup
MOBO - BIOSTAR TForce TP45HP LGA 775 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138123
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115041
OC'ed to ~3.3
RAM - CORSAIR XMS2 DHX 4GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145194
GPU - Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129114
All powered by ENERMAX INFINITI 720W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194021
Now, the upgrades would be following
CPU - Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115211
MOBO - ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131386
RAM - OCZ Platinum 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000(PC3 16000) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227310
My question is, would I see big leap performance-wise ? The PSU should still be able to give enough juice to all the new parts correct ? I know the 4870x2 might be bottlenecked by the current Q9550, therefore goin to the i7, would there be a significant difference ?
LAst but not least, please give me you true opinion on if this upgrade would be smart at this time considering technology comes and goes.
Thank You.
Luke
