I am thinking of upgrading to sandy bridge i5 2500K my system is 99% for gaming would the money be better spent on graphics or since I can play everything OK shall I wait and see what bulldozer can offer or until I can do a full new system. Current specs are:
Phenom 550Be unlocked to 4 core and overclocked to 3.7GHz
4Gb (2x2Gb) 1333MHz RAM
2 x Radeon 4870 512Mb in crossfire
for £280 I could get a 2500K and a board that supports crossfire at 8X/8X for around the same price I could get 2 x 6850s or a single 6970 do you think either of these would give me a worth while improvement or shall I just wait?
I am gaming at 1920x1080
