Hey folks,
My Q6600 is 3.5 years old and is showing no signs of aging, but I want to upgrade before its value drops to below the point it's worth selling to buy a new rig. The idea is to buy new CPU+RAM+MOBO, and maybe a 2TB Samsung HDD.
Budget is tight, $500, maybe a little more. I use PC mainly for racing games (GTR², rFactor, F1 2010), flight simulator X and video rendering. What would be the best bang for buck, improving from the overclocked Core2Quad?
- H67 + i5-2500 + 8GB RAM + 2TB HDD
- P67 + i5-2500k + 8GB RAM
- H67 + i7-2600 + 8GB RAM
- P67 + i7-2600k + 4GB
Thanks for opinions
