Hey guys long time no see.
So ive hit that peak where I want to upgrade my system yet again. Ive made like 3 threads over the course of this last year saying that but havent actually done so yet.
The problem is that ive been out of the loop for so damn long i have no idea what anything is anymore. All I know is that Intel is still the best choice to go.
So here is what im looking at:
Im looking at getting an i5 since it would more or less suit my needs. Im thinking dual core with hyper threading to essentially make it a quad core to save the cash. I dont really need an i7 with hyper threading cause there's no way in hell im going to utilize all 8 of those cores. Here's the CPU i was looking at.
Now, for the motherboard, I really dont have a shit eating clue on this. I do want to do some overclocking. I may want to try and get the most out of it as I can in the future but for now Im thinking just a mild overclock to squeeze out that little bit extra. I was looking at this motherboard but Im not so sure. And im pretty sure that CeraM!X thing is just a gimmick.
And finally, I chose this RAM.
As always, im open to suggestions. The budget is sorta of limited on this one. I really dont want to go all out on this. What im looking to do is sell my current CPU/motherboard/RAM and use that money to go towards the new system. One of my other problems are, I dont know the current price range for my current items. I heard JrRacingFan could help me out here.
If I could find a deal from members here that would be awesome. Im open to that. But in order for me to get my new system, I first have to sell my current cpu/board/RAM.
Thanks guys im sure youll be a big help.
