Man of Honour
Guys I'm getting that upgrade feeling as my system is getting a bit ancient (for me) but then my sensible head is wondering if it'll be worth it?
Currently got an i7 950 @ 4Ghz on a Asus RampageII Extreme, 6Gig of 1600 Dominator and AMD 7870.
I'll be sticking with the same graphics for now as that's not too old but was pondering either a 2500K Sandy or 3570K Ivy and clocking up to 4.5Ghz+, suitable mid range Z77 mobo and 8Gig ram.I would definitely use the newer features of the mobo (6Gb SATA, Lucid Virtu MVP) but as said am I wasting my money at the moment on that proposed combo, will mainly be used for gaming and general day to day stuff and tbh there's nothing I can't run atm that I'm unhappy with so do I then splash out on a really nice topend monitor instead and stick with my old box for now!
