Upgrade Dilema

[Robert]

I'm stuck with what to change..

Do I:

Go for the X25-M 80/160/Corsair X128 and Windows 7 and wait for i9

or

i7 920/RAM/Mobo/Win 7

Tough choice!

At the moment I have:

Q6600 @ 3.2
8gb Corsair 8500
Asus P5Q Pro
4870X2

Suggestions?

Is your system not performing? or do you just have the upgrade bug?
I have a stock Q6600 and a 9800GTX and I don't have any games or programs that stress it enough for me to think about upgrading.
So if I absolutely had to spend the cash then I'd go SSD.
Hows your monitor/s and audio set-up? perhaps upgrading those would make a bigger difference.

Performs fine...I just think an SSD would probably go well with Windows 7

I certainly wouldn't mess with the cpu / mobo / ram / gpu combo you've got there, it should keep you going for a few years yet! What's your current HDD? That's the only obvious upgrade from where you are, and as long as you get an SSD with support for the trim(?) command it will go very nicely with Windows 7. I'm afraid I don't know which drives support that OTOH though, so I'd suggest a bit of mad googling to find out

Beh..."keep me going" boring haha !

still drawn to the i7 damnit!
