Re: How are you upgrading?

Hopefully soon will take delivery of:

i2500k (with Coolermaster 212+), ASUS P8P67 Pro, Corsair XSM3 Classic (1600) + Samsung F3 1TB

I'm planning on using this with my current HD4870 1GB until BF3 comes out, when I'll upgrade to the best bang for buck card at the time.

Should beast BF3

Re: How are you upgrading?

I've not long swapped out a 9800GTX+ for a GTX560ti because I'm trying to spread the cost and not buy all parts at the same time.

The result is a very bottlenecked GPU on my current system - C2D @ 3.7GHz / 4GB DDR2 / Vista 32bit.

Wish list - i5 2500K @ 4.5GHz / 8GB DDR3 / Win7 64 bit.

Re: How are you upgrading?

I might be building my first desktop, as my gaming laptop is now 3 years old, and has an 8800M GTX which is a bit slower than a 8800GTS 320MB desktop card, so I'm not really sure if that will be powerfull enough.

Anyway, if I decide to upgrade this is the spec I'll be going for:

Coolermaster CM 690 II Lite Pure Black case
Asus P8P67 Pro Intel P67 (Socket 1155) Motherboard - B3 Revision
Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB
Gigabyte GTX 560 OC 1GB GDDR5
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 16MB Cache Hard Drive SATA 7200rpm
LG CH10LS20 10x Internal Blu-Ray Combo Drive SATA
Plus the power supply, monitor and Windows 7 64 bit

I already have a keyboard and mouse.

Final price £895.29= 1,478.69 USD

Re: How are you upgrading?

When I had the Q6600 the fastest I found, and used, was a GTX 275. Any more and I would think it would bottleneck the graphics card.

Re: How are you upgrading?

im not going to upgrade anything since i feel my rig should be able to run it ok.
q6600 @ 3.0 and gtx460 with 4gb ram should be ok, no?

question about that system since i have the same cpu. what would be best/highest video card to pair with a q6600 that would not bottleneck?

SWEET !!! :thumbsup:

Yeah - I'm pretty excited! I'm looking forward to going back and playing some BF2 on this rig.

Re: How are you upgrading?

I just have to find one that comes in camouflage and figure out how to attach the headphones and mic to it. No more interruptions during gaming to get a drink.

All you need now is another tube leading to a big bucket to pee in, and you're all set!

Re: How are you upgrading?

Yea, you will probably be able to run medium 60fps

Re: How are you upgrading?

next gen for both ATI and Nvidia will be out around October, anyone even considering a upgrade specifically for BF3 should wait for those cards to come out so you can get the best bang for your buck with BF3.....myself , it's going to be 3 of the ATI flagship cards in tri fire and 2 more benq xl2410t 120hz monitors for some 120 FPS eyefinity deliciousness........now lets see some track IR support..........

TWL has considered that an unfair advantage and have disallowed it's use in match play..............
