Hello
My current spec is as follow :
Radeon 5870
Core 2 Duo E6550 on Asus PB5Plus
4G Ram
My CPU is soon to be 3.5 years old and I'm asking myself if this should be a good investment to change it.
I heard there are new intel processor (sandy bridge) on the way and it might not be a good idea to change now...
My purpose is to find a good quality/price ratio for a new CPU, bear in mind I may have to also change the mother board with the CPU and maybe the RAM (not sure there), so these must be taken into accounts for the budget.
I'm willing to go from 250$ to 400$ for the whole thing.
I'm not sure that I will be changing it for another 3 years, the GPU might change in 1 or 2 years though.
