So, I bought this girl a car and then 4 days later she broke up with me via facebook status... ANYWAYS.... Long story short, she feels bad about taking the car and wants to pay me back. I have $600 coming in shortly (hopefully more later) so I feel like upgrading.
Here is my current system:
e5200 [email protected]
EP45-UD3L lga775 sata2 ddr2 board
4gb ddr2 ram (666mhz)
60gb vertex2 ssd (for the os), 1.5tb storage drive
radeon 4850
Now, i've been itching to upgrade for a bit now, but was only going to get something that can help me hold off until i can skip lga1155 altogether... like a q9600, one of the extreme edition lga775 quad cores.
So here are my options as i see them. Please help:
1)Buy a Q6600 for ~$80 that benchmarks at stock what my 50% oc'ed cpu does edit: nvm
2) Buy one of the fastest lga775 quads (q9650 here on forums for $250)
3) Bite the bullet, get a decent 1155 computer, with sata3, ddr3, and a fast(er) ssd
4) Get a good video card, hold off on everything else until 2011 drops
4) Don't upgrade and just wait until 2011 drops to a reasonable price
5) Tell the ex to keep the money and try to get back with her
6) Other
tldr: don't buy your gf a car
