they are outdated for gaming man,and the ones that are really on par with i7's cost like 80K per processor. DO NOT buy E8400 or any 775 processor. GO for dual core ivy bridge,you will get more then 50-60% performance boost overall. And instead of 550ti try 650/ti if you can find one in good price.Guys, let's suppose my budget is 20k and I am thinking to upgrade my system.
GA P35 DS3L (REV 2)
C2D E8400
GTX 550 TI
Cooler Master (500w I think lol)
First of all, I am planning to upgrade my processor and motherboardas I can always buy a new card. I have seen these workstations like HP Xw6200, Dell 690 and all. Some of them have double quad core processors and I can get 2nd hand of these in like 20k. I saw a benchmark and it was equivalent to an i7. What should I do? Should I buy a complete workstation or update my processor and mobo to what...
