Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows a quick answer to this:- I have a 3 year old gaming rig which is going to progressively get re built over the next year. Currently the state of play is: MSI MS-7185 nForce 4 motherboard (sli) (about 4 years old) Tagan 420 Watt PSU Athlon 64 4800+ dual cores (2.4's) Western Digital 250GB HD 2GB RAM 8800gt My question is what goes first? The Motherboard or the graphics card? I was thinking of getting a new power supply and also the GTX 260 or 280 and putting it with the old motherboard. Just to begin with. What do you think? Or should I start with the motherboard..... Thanks!
GPU/PSU will be worth while to upgrade if you game but the CPU might become the bottleneck as a result (vice versa). Personally I'd wait until you can build a whole new system. New motherboard means, new CPU unless you stick with the same socket type, RAM might also need changing.
