I'm passing the two year mark on my system and have been feeling a little under the weather when playing the latest and greatest. So here's my system as it sits:
Asus p5b deluxe
C2D E6600 @ 3.0ghz
4GB of RAM
8800GTX
x2 WD 7200rpm drives in Raid0
24" Dell @ 1920x1200
The monitor was a recent purchase and is probably responsible for the performance hit I've been seeing in games. I'm not really sure which way to go...
I've looked at video cards and not sure if the jump is substantial enough or if the CPU would bottleneck anything new.
The CPU might be a good candidate but the i7 combo is way overpriced at the moment, I'm looking to stay under $500 (hopefully). Maybe a quad core upgrade?
Thank you for any suggestions.
