Been thinking about upgrading the past months but i do not know where to start at Feel free to express what i should possibly get first, I have been out of the computer hardware in a year so i do not know much anymore :( Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 960T Thuban 45nm Technology RAM 4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 533MHz (8-8-8-20) Motherboard ASRock 970 Extreme3 (CPUSocket) Graphics VX2235wm (1680x1050@60Hz) AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (ATI AIB) Hard Drives 373GB Seagate ST3400632NS ATA Device (SATA) Optical Drives DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device ASUS DRW-24B1ST a ATA Device Audio Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM) Edit: Graphics card is a 6850 and the processor is overclocked to 4.0
I would grab a Hyper 212+ cooler overclock that cpu to at least 3.6 ghz, add another 4gb of DDR 3 , and maybe a new gpu like a GTX 660 or 7850 at least.
If you have enough of a psu you could Crossfire another 6850/6870

Yeah thanks guys for the opinion on what I should get I would get more ram, but i only have a 32 bit so more memory is kind of useless Was thinking about doing crossfire with another 6850 but i hardly see any If anything I have about $250 dollars to spare to buy a new video card.

yeah get a new gpu, everything else is satisfactory...definitely not the best but it will get you through another year or so. Â You will likely experience alot of frame drops in games ranging from 20-30fps due to the weak cpu but again the games are still playable so its not a huge deal. Â As for the gpu, stay away from nvidia, all their cards except for the 660 (non ti) and 650 are over priced. Â You will be paying a lot more $$ for a lot less card with nvidia as opposed to AMD.

Your so full of crap :lol:
Â
laugh it off but AMD cpus are garbage, everyone knows this. Â Fortunately for AMD their gpus are the best bang for buck you can find on the market, nvidia is way over priced, they need to fund their garbage ARM processors to try and take out intel which will never happen.

yeah, my 98 toyota corolla gets the job done too getting me to work, and its also really fuel efficient, 120 HP and 30mpg. Â The intels are like a mustang, Â 300 HP and 25 mpg (the v6 not the v8). Â That pretty much sums up intel vs AMD.
