To upgrade or not?

[Pie_uk]

right i have a bit of a dilema and want a second opinion on it, right i have the following kit

AMD 3700 SD
Asus a8n SLI premium
2x1Gb crucial ballistix
AMD 170 opteron
NEC dvd rw
200 Gb hdd with windows
250Gb hdd with xp media center
ANTEC P160
Lian LI v1000 B


now recently (2 days ago) i bought a dual core opteron 939. And last night an old friend offered me £525 for

* AMD 3700
* Asus a8n sli premium
* 2x1Gb crucial ballistix
* 200 Gb hdd with windows
* DVD rw drive

for £525 !! so that would be enough money to then move to core 2 duo.... and i could sell my opteron for at least £150 on top of that, which could get me a nice western digital raptor 150gb

£570 i can get e6600 / asus p5b deluxe / 2x1Gb G skill HZ /

so £45 to move to conroe....


or do I just keep my set up >>

Asus a8n sli premium
opteron 170@ 2.7ghz
2x1GB crucial ballistix
200Gb hd
Windows
DVD RW

shall i just move to conroe , i could buy the e6300 and then wait for quad? i guess if i dont sell at this chance i have i wont ever get anything for it? he is wanting the stuff on the 26th of nov this month

cheers for reading

sounds like a good deal to sell... top-end core 2 duos might start to drop when quads start coming out os you could wait for that.. or just go for the 6600 will be a nice upgrade, practically for free

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I'm planning on waiting for the quad cores to be released so I can (hopefully) get a cheaper Core 2.
