Option A - Keep sig rig, upgrade to HD 6870:
Q9550 @ 3.8ghz
8GB RAM
HD 6870.
Option B - Get P67 + i5 2500k, 4GB RAM, keep HD 4890:
i5 2500k
4GB RAM
HD 4890
I want to believe that my sig rig can last another 2 or 3 years in gaming if I keep upgrading the GPU over time, but I don't think I can cope with peer pressure, so I was also thinking of moving to SB if the prices are right.
Which one would be the best overall Gaming rig?
