Hi guys, my current setup: Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.3ghz, ATI Saphire Vapor X HD 4890, 4GB DDR2 800, 750w Corsair PSU, 500GB HDD 7200 RPM, MSI
I want to upgrade my CPU and RAM to DDR3 in the next months.
Really torn between Intel vs AMD, primarily an i7 versus phenom 965.
I am mainly worried about the performance of gaming via this setup.
I get 75 frames per second Average in Call of duty modern warefare 2 on EXTRA with 4x AA.
I get 45 frames per second average in Battlefield Badcompany 2 on HIGH.
All at 1920x1080 via 23" LCD monitor.
What shall I purchase?
Will I also need to reinstall my windows 7 when I install the CPU, motherboard and RAM to my current parts (harddrive, videocard, powersupply, optical drive are staying the same)
Please let me know, you guys are great at helping people out and helped me out greatly already, thank you!
