Hey everyone, just wanted some feedback on my ideas for freshening up my system. I have a DFI 790FX board that uses DDR2. It will take AM3 processors, and was looking to upgrade to a Phenom II X3, an SSD, and a new graphics card, also a full Windows 7 Ultimate from XP.
I am a general computer user and like gaming...I do not use the system for anything like video editing or the like that is thread intensive or really bandwidth heavy.
Would I notice that much performance difference in buying a new board and switching to DDR3? I have 4GB of DDR2 1000 from OCZ that should overclock to DDR2 1066 to work with the Phenom II X3.
I would rather use the money toward a new graphics card (and the OS) than having to buy a new motherboard and memory.
Opinions?
