Hey Guys,
I've determined that it's time to throw an upgrade or two at my rig before doing a completely new build in the next year. Basically I'm more or less satisfied with the rig I have, but am starting to notice a lack of horsepower creeping up on it. To be honest I think the rig is in need of some more memory, as I tend to multitask a LOT and the 2gigs just isn't cutting it anymore while running Win7 Ultimate.
So here's what I have, let me know your thoughts:
Mobo: Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi
CPU: Intel C2D E6600 2.4ghz
Memory: 2x 1gb Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800
Video: EVGA 8800GTS
I would like to hold off on doing my new build until nVidia comes out with their nextgen video cards. I tend to stick wtih nVidia since I usually have a dualboot Linux setup on my main rig (with my other rigs being exclusively Linux).
As far as budget, I didn't really have anything in mind though I don't want to spend too much given that I will be doing a new build in the coming months. Just something to hold me over a bit!
Thanks in advance for everyone's help, let me know if there is anymore information I should provide
