Right now I have a AMD 64 4000+ with an EVGA 7800GTX ACS KO 256 meg with 2 gigs of ram, 500w Antec Shadow, thats the gist of it.
I was thinking of doing a mid upgrade and making this my 2nd computer when I do my major upgrade much later this year, but use it as my primary while I wait. I am trying to get the most bang for the buck.
I was thinking either Q6600 or a Q9450 with a 8800 GTS 512 meg with 2-4 gigs of ram.
Is the current power supply enough to handle the new cpu and the 8800 GTS?
Which heat sink for air cooling for the CPU?
Which cpu should I go with and what motherboard?
About how much will I end up spending for this upgrade?
Can you guys give me some advice and suggestions??
Thanks
