vegettoxp Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hello there Guys, I just wanted to get your opinions before I pull the trigger on updating current system hardware. Just to let you know, I happy with my current rig, but I have that crazy habbit that I need to keep it up-to-date with news toys.

Thank you for your time and help!My Current Rig Info:Case - CM HAF92 (I am not 100% happy, maybe looking for a new one)PS - Corsair - HX620Motherboard - Asus Maximus Formula SE (Chiptset X38)Processor - Intell QX9770 (Quad-Core)System Ram - G-SKills 8GBGraphic Card - ATI 5850Your Thoughs on Updates?Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonestonne Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 dude, you are up to date. no reason to change that at all unless you're doing intense video editing. it's a monster already. besides, it's probably idling half the time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just feel that I don't have the latest toy. I am pretty sure that some of you get that feeling where it feeling that the Hardware in your PC is Old and needs to be updates. I am happy with my system, just crazy Habbits. So you thinks that I don't need to update anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Sounds like you have money to burn. If you can wait a month or three, nVidia will be releasing its next generation video hardware. I would wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wait.My feeling isn't to burn cash, I need to save cash. I just want to make sure that I have all the latest toys for my puppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonestonne Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 lol, well, if you need to save cash, realize that you've got basically got a pretty **** fast rig.i mean, your sig is out of date, but your rig is recent enough. With a Core 2 Extreme, unless you're willing to toss $600+ to replace your mobo, RAM and CPU....but honestly, not worth it unless you're going to be able to use it (blu-ray video editing or such).

vegettoxp Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 That true, I have been reading around that everyone recommends to wait until next year, when Intel 6Core comes out and so does SandBridge Chipset. I guess the only thing that I can update is SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ya just wait, your computer is very fast as it is.the amount of money you put into it compared to the performance gain just does not add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegettoxp Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Point well taken. I will take your advise and wait untill there is something better then my current processor. But I might still look to SSD Hard Drive as a update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
