Yes I went from an x2 3800 to a c2d e6600 and the difference is substantial.

Western Digital 300GB SATA RAID
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty
Saitek Pro Gamer Command Unit
Saitek Eclipse 2 Keyboard
Logitech MX1000 Mouse
Samsung 19" TFT
It plays World of Warcraft at 1280x1024 full pelt with a good FPS, but doesn't play more modern games well at all.
What would be my best upgrade options? And how much would I be looking?
Thanks 
EDIT: Also sorry for hijacking the thread, can a mod move this to a new topic if needs be please? Thank you  |
Yours is a 939 mobo you could just chuck an x2 at that and upgrade the gfx if you so desired
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CP-181-AM 4600 x2 cpu on offer the 4200 is 88 quid on offer also
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=GX-065-HT this gfx
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=FG-000-AR this cooler
this would make for a good upgrade to what you have otherwise your gonna have to do a major rebuild
if your happy to spend 500 - 600 + quid then we could go down a c2d router mobo gfx ram etc or an intrim using the asrock board
