Hi all, I am looking for my next piece of hardware to upgrade for my GAMING DESKTOP. budget 100-300 (there isnt too many reasonable hardware components out of this range). but im basically looking for the bottleneck (im guessing processor or MoBo) Rig: 1000W cooler master power supply Nvidia 790i Tri Sli mother board, EVGA 460gtx (just bought - woot!) Intel Core Duo CPU E8400 @3GHz (both of em) 4GB of DDR3 (i believe GSkill 1333) I just bought BF3 and the processor hits 95-100% constantly (not good?), memory also hits about 75%, but thats not too bad..., but perhaps the mo-bo is really the bottle neck. also, if its possible to have a free solution im all ears. SUGGESTIONS?? Thanks ahead of time.
i agree with NumbWarri0r. Mobo, CPU, and RAM. but RAM shouldnt be the highest priority for sure. if you decide on replacing your processor, this place has a some nice selection of LGA775 sockets. http://www.eio.com/c-722-cpus-processors.aspx?pagesize=12§ionids=484&expand=459&ViewType=2 or if youre looking for motherboards, heres a nice list for ya http://www.eio.com/c-287-motherboards.aspx
