Hi all,
i'm in a bit of a quandry. I've been browsing cpu prices and the like, and want to jump in to some i7 socket 2011 love, but nothing i run actually stresses my current setup.
current spec.
Asus P5Ke-wifi something mainboard.
Intel Core2 Quad 9650
444/1776Mhz FSB pushing the cpu clock to 3996Mhz
8GB DDR2 1066 dual channel ram running at 888Mhz (2 to 1 sync memory to FSB clock ratio)
Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX 670 OC graphics card - standard clocks
dell 27" screen : 1920x1200
dell 19" screen : 1280x1024
skyrim looks great, and i can run two instances of WOW (two accounts) - one on each screen full res, at 60+fps each
supreme commander runs smooth as - with all unit counts maxed for 8 players
left for dead1/2 is the source engine, so no worries there.
i'm about to get into ArmaII and it's Day-Z mod...
is there any point building a new rig? or stick it out till something comes out that really changes the game?
never really got into Crysis..
thanks for any ideas or thoughts
