I am currently in the process of potentially upgrading my current computer case to a new one (Antec 900 etc..). When I do this I will have the opportunity to upgrade and make changes to my mobo and configuration and my processor is one piece that i am having trouble deciding on.
To start off I am primarily a gamer. Currently I have an E6400 in a P5Q mobo running at around 3.2ghz OC'd with an aftermarket cooler and a 8800gts N512 video card. My gaming is random but I primarily have been playing RTS's and WOW lately with the occasional Crysis thrown in. I am also a big console gamer so the only games I do play are really PC focused or RTS ( I hate RTS on a console) with the next big games for me probably being starcraft 2 and diablo 3.
I prefer to not have to crack open the case to redo a CPU in the near future, but could see doing it in a year if I didn't upgrade this time around.
Thoughts?
