I'm not very happy with my performance in my most played games at the moment (TF2 and the BF2 mod Forgotten Hope 2), and I'd like to beef up my system a bit without going all out and building a completely new one. My current setup is:
E4500 OC'd to 2.8Ghz
4870 512MB
Gigabyte P35 DS3-L rev 2.0
4 x 1 GB sticks of G.Skill DDR2 8000
Windows 7 x64 RC
I run my games at 1680 x 1050 with no AA or V-Sync, and the frame rate still drops now and then. So first of all, what is holding me back the most, my CPU or my GPU? My friend told me he thinks it's my GPU but he's not completely sure. Second, what do I spring for in either upgrade path?
