Hello,
Thank you in advance for any help.
Question is this: I would like to know what possible avenue I would have to upgrade my current system. It is mostly a gaming pc and with games like Battlefield 3 and The Old Republic coming out I wanted to know what I could basically upgrade without redoing the whole system. I don't want to have to buy a new mobo and then have to get different RAM and a new CPU. I'd like to keep the upgrade under $200 total.
Currently I have:
GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128384
AMD Phenom II X3 720 - Overclocked to 3.1 ghz & unlocked 4th core
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103649
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006
SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 1GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908
What is a more feasible upgrade for my system? Another 6850, perhaps a AMD 970 or similar cpu, more RAM, or really nothing at all until I go with the full upgrade and get a new cpu/mobo/ram package.
I am running my monitor at 1680x1050 and have Vista 64 bit with a 7200 rpm WD hard drive for additional info.
Thank you for any input.
