Hi all, realise this is probably a "yawn, same old" question but have not been keeping very up to speed with everything to do with CPUs/mobos etc. recently
Looking for some advice around timing for a new upgrade and what to upgrade to.
I am currently running
E6400 @ 3.0 GHz
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 rev 1.0
OCZ OCZ2P800R21G - 2Gb & Corsair TwinX 800mhz - 2Gb
Palit 8800GTS 640Mb
Corsair 620w
Dell 2407WFP (A04)
I bought most of this setup ~ early 2006 so it's done pretty well. But I notice the speed now as I am doing a lot of video encoding ATM to move my vids from DVD or AVI to AppleTV format.
I also game on it although not as much as I used to due to family and work commitments. Mainly BF2, TF2 and COD4 recently, all of which run OK on my setup.
So my question is, when should I look to upgrade and what would give me the best lifespan like my current setup has ? Should I just buy a Q6600 and leave it at that for another few months ? I dont want to spend masses due to the lack of stress I am giving it most of the time.
Thanks for your help
