Hi,
Needing a system upgrade...
I was thinking about upgrading my Q9450 to a Q9650 then overclock it to 4Ghz+ but the Q9650's aren't that cheap (even used).
I would probably see some performance boost, although for the money I "waste" on an obsolete socket plus a bit more I would probably be able to get a future proof system that I could upgrade without changing the Motherboard + CPU + RAM (again)
To be honest I have no idea what to look for...
I know a lot about the C2D and C2Q, but about the "new" i3, i5 and i7 I don't know much. Didn't really care since I didn't have one.
That's why I need some advice, been checking and there is more than 1 generation of i7's so I was like: ??
Have about £350 to spend. what could I get with that ?
(Would need MB+CPU+RAM)
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Don't mind used hardware
