Hardware upgrade (processor, motherboard, ram) Justified?


Recommended Posts

Hi all

A few weeks ago I brought an 8800 GTS, but my Athlon 64 4000+ seems to be a big bottleneck. I was going to upgrade to a dual core 3800+, but then wondered if it was worth doing that with my motherboard being kinda old, and that maybe I should get a new motherboard and processor (Intel Core 2 Duo).

So....is the Asus P5N-E a good motherboard? (Im looking for a mobo within the ?70 - 100 price range)

And would the E6750 or E6600 be a good justified upgrade over the Athlon 64 4000+? (Baring in mind I use my PC mainly for gaming)

For that price range I would recommend an Asus P5K, or P5K-E if within budget. I can't recommend MSI myself, their quality and service has been a disappointment for years :(
