Hello guys,
I have a question that i need some help with. I'm planning on upgrading my rig. I have an AMD phenom ii x4 840, Geforce 8800GTS 512, 2GB DDR2 memory.
I'm torn between two diffrent builds. My first choice is, Core i5 2500k, 8GB DDR3, MSI H61M-P21 (I know it's a crap board lol), keep my 8800GTS 512.
The second choice is, Keep my Phenom ii X4 840, 8GB DDR3, Asus M5A78L-m LX (again i know crap board lol), XFX radeon 6950 1GB 5GHZ.
So here is where my questions come in. If i go with the first choice would my graphics card be holding me back?, i'm a huge PC gamer titles like, BFBC2, Black Ops, Homefront, Fallout NV, Battlefield 3 (when released).
If i go with the second choice, would my CPU beholding me back? i know it's a lower-end Quad-Core.
I'm looking to know what my best option would be out of the two choices i have provided, i would be open to some suggestions.
I'm looking to buy parts tomorrow or Tuesday.
