Died a silent death (RIP)
Now im faced with big choices
Current rig in specs
You can see except my psu and my mobo im a bit outdated. Wondering what path to take ....
choice 1
i7 920 (a friend is hooking me up at a ultra low price) 150 ish
MSi mobo (hopefully used or cheap) 150ish?
6GB DDR3 1600 99$
ATi Card (1GB 4850?) 110$
advantage mega performance
disadvantage; cost
choice 2
3850/8800GT 4 cheep now ??$
later Q6600 or Q9550 (maybe used) ??$
8 GB ddr2 somewhere inbetween 99$$
advantage: uses the platform i have currently
disadvantage: may be going to a very expensive skl soon and no funds will be available for the next 2 yrs for upgrades, dunno how future proof this is?
choice three
3850/8800GT 4 (used)cheep now ??$
wait for p55, cop 2.80GHz lynfield 140+280?$
8GB DDR3 120?$
advantage; can resume using my rig which was just resurrected after 8 months
disadvantage: the stuff i have to sell may be worth even less when p55 is out
choice 4
3850/8800GT 4 (used)cheep now ???$?
wait for p57, cop 2.80GHz lynfield (160+280?$)
8GB DDR3 120?$
advantage; can resume using my rig which was just resurrected after 8 months
disadvantage: the stuff i have to sell may be worth even less when p57 is out
choice 5?

choice 6?
