I am on a budget here so I cant upgrade everything ALL at once. I'd really appreciate some help here. I am clueless about motherboards and just want to upgrade from a Q6600 to a processor that won't bottleneck my nvidia 460
Also I am considering buying a solid state drive. Will I see much performance if I hook it up to an old motherboard thats probably only SATA 1 or SATA 2 and not SATA 3 ? Meaning should I wait to buy a new mobo first or is it safe to buy a SSD?
To be honest i'd probably feel safer buying a mobo/cpu already married together. How much more expensive is it to buy it this way instead of a separate mobo/cpu to hook up yourself?
And one last question. Say im really cheap so i'll buy the smallest SSD drive I can to be my master drive and I'd set up a normal non SSD drive as my slave to store my games for when I want to transfer them onto my SSD drive. I can do this , right?
Would buying a small SSD drive, say like 60-100 gigs reduce my performance in the event that I always have it really close to being full?
Does a smaller SSD drive in general not work as fast as a larger SSD drive with more empty space to transfer files around?
Thanks yall, sorry for the extensive list of questions.
