Hey Guys,
I haven’t posted here many times, as I don’t often feel I have much to add, but I regularly read the forums and check TPU several times a day for my tech fix
Anyways, I’ve posted here before about dilemmas regarding upgrading my PC in the near future and whether or not it’s worth it, however things have taken a turn for the worse financially, and I’m regretfully having part out the rig in my System Specs to free up some cash for some unexpected bills.
I’m selling the Q9550 and 2x2GB of my Dominators to a friend of mine, and also looking to sell my 260 to another friend. I plan to keep the Case, PSU, ODD and HDDs and a Xigmatek S1283 I have spare for a future build.
I was wondering, as money will be tight for a couple of months, whether you guys think it will be worth keeping my mobo and my 2x1GB Dominators and maybe spending around £60 on a Pentium Dual Core E6500 so I actually have a rig to keep me going for those few months, or whether you think I should just sell the mobo and remaining RAM, get money for them whilst I can, and then just waiting and saving as much as I can in order to upgrade to at least an i5-750 or maybe even a i7 920 later on down the line? Any money spent now means less for me to spend later on unfortunately :/
The latter option means I’d have to live with just a Acer Aspire One N270 netbook for those few months, which would kinda suck tbh, as I use my PC for work (both educational and paid) and for my music, movies and games.
Anyway, this dilemma has been troubling me for a week or two now, so I was wondering what your opinions were? Any opinions and feedback appreciated
