i am getting a new video card, and new psu.. and I am gonna have a little money left over after buying those two.. i was wondering should i use the money to buy a new processor? or should I wait till i get a new motherboard to do that.. i currently have this motherboard. http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en-us/mb/content.php?S_ID=380 it can support Phenom AM3 quad cores i believe.. or do you think i should wait till i get a new mobo to get a new cpu im currently running a dual core 2.7ghz (5200+) Athlon 64.. so yeah i justdont know if its worth upgrading the cpu with the mobo i have..
I would wait and get a new motherboard and cpu. Right now, you're missing out on DDR3, USB 3.0, and faster cpu capabilities. Intel also recently released their newly patented data transferring technology called LightPeak. When it will it PC's is still unknown but some speculate late 2011 or early 2012. It's worth waiting for. By then you'll also be able to take advantage of Intel's new 22nm cpu technology.
