PC Hardware update opinion.

Hi i'm deciding on upgrading my current Pc rig and wanted to ask you guys for some opinions or tips you might be able to give me.

My current setup is:

Asus P5b Mobo

E6600 C2d

Nvidia 7950GT (old old old!!!!)

Kingston 600mhz 3g Ram ( damn old!)

Lg DVD

1 80gig Hdd seagate

1 250 Lacie external Hdd

1 160 gb seagete hdd

Samsung t240 LCD

Now, my most vulnerable part is the grfx card. i was thinking of getting something ranging from a gtx260 to a gtx280, or do you suggest passing on to Ati?

I'm also opting for 3gb 1333mhz Ram.

BluRay player

and to finally overclock my Cpu.

What do you guys think? Should i wait for DX11 cards to come out and sit tight, maybe start doing the rest and save the card for last?

Heck going to a 9800GTX or GTS 250 would be a big upgrade. But the main issue is your psu most likely, because you will need more juice to run a better card. And I doubt your motherboard supports more then DDR 2 800+. This is what I would upgrade right now is psu and cpu cooler, and ram, 04dcarraher

My Psu is 550w and right now i've got and Arctic cooler Freezer 7 pro on my cpu...isn't it enough?

You should be able to fit a GTS 250 on there. Which is a 9800GTX+ that is smaller and more energy efficient.

And if you can wait for the Dx11 cards then do so, but if you cant I wouldnt spend more then $125 on a gpu right now.

You can pick a 4850 for $95 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102824

And a GTS 250 for unfer $125 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150357

Yeah, just checked 25A...

So you suggest a Gts250, is that huge of a difference from the 4850?

Their about the same performance wise but the GTS 250 uses less power. 04dcarraher

o ok, thnx
