Upgrades for 2010

So whats everyone going to be upgrading in the new year then?

I need a new case, a new CPU cooler, some more RAM, another HDD, Windows 7 and a new graphics card.

7 a new gpu and meybe a case fan (debating the case fan)

probly just a GPU maybe a CPU cooler

Current stuff:

8800GTS

720 X3 BE

4GB DDR3 1666

640GB HD

i would needless to say the 8800 series is starting to show its age.

my i recommend the hd 5750 or 5770

if you INSIST its an nivida 9800gtx

Looks like I'm not the only one going for a 5770.

Near the end of next year I'm planning on buying a Q9550 and over-clocking it to around 3.6Ghz, with a good Air cooler, only problem is I may have to move my 250mm side panel Fan to the outside of my case lol

New for 2010:

Intel Q9550 2.83Ghz, hoping to achieve 3.6Ghz

I may buy a Megahalems Shadow w/ 2x Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1900RPM Slip Stream 120mm Fanpush/pull setup. Seems with the 250mm side panel fan blowing on it as well as my GPU/motherboard area and other intake/exhaust fans in this case, cooling shouldn't be a problem at all.

so also new for 2010 is:

Prolimatech Megahalems

2x Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1900RPM Slip Stream 120mm Fan, 110 CFM.

Im planning on getting a 1TB Samsung F3 HDD since 500GB just doesn't cut it for a gamer with a steam account, im also thinking about getting a bigger monitor I've had my 19" samsung for almost 4 years now, I think 22" 1680x1050 should be perfect for a HD 4890 since im not planning on upgrading my core hardware for another 1 years or so.

I'm thinking of getting a Blu-ray drive to go with my new 1080p monitor, but I may skip out on that. And I'd like to get a DX11 card at some point, but I may just crossfire my 4890 if I don't see any real benefits from DX11

21" monitor is fine right. 1920x1200. i second the 4890. 5770 isnt powerful enough to run dx11 apps on its highest setting. 4890 is a little more powerful, but u pay less because its only dx 10.1. 5770=4870 or so.

new cpu cooler, windows 7, maybe a new GPU if the price comes down enough

Not sure yet myself....

Maybe 1TB Samsung drive
A AM3 platform
A new PSU
Or a 5770/5850!

So many choices!

im gonna get a new asus p5q mobo, probably 4gb of ddr2-800 and a core 2 quad q9400.

im upgrading tomorrow my whole rig to: CPU : E7500 GPU: GTS250 1Gb of GDDR3. PSU. Mobo: Gigabyte EP31-DS3LGazaAli

I wont be upgrading until I know Nvidia's plans are with AMD AM3 based SLI motherboards and when they release Their GTX 300 series.

I dunno but i try to save enough money to get a new PSU and two Fermi cards.

i think they wont support AMD in the future, but there are still AM3 Ready 3 Way SLI mobos from MSI.

Oddly enough I feel very attached It's been a good little card, has good temps and runs pretty much everything well @ 1920X1080. I built two other comps same everything except one had a 4850 and the other has a 5770 and the difference is obvious, so yeah probly make a nice step up after the 5000 prices take a slide.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"][QUOTE="04dcarraher"] What kind of deal did u get on that stuff in gaza? but anyways you will see a major boost going from a 8500gt to a GTS 250, and going from a 2 ghz 1mb cache C2D to a 2.9 ghz 3mb cache C2D.

Probably sli my 9800GT and get 4 more gb of ram so I'd have 8gb of ram and it would be completely overkill.

[QUOTE="drwcker"][QUOTE="GazaAli"] the GTS250 cost 210$, the E7400 120$, the PSU 120$ and the mobo 100$. i sold my old parts for a 100$, so i paid 450$.GazaAli

Wehre do you live? I just bought a 250 for 120. Thats crazy.

eh ight end up going to i7 soon this year. and possible a new vid card

maybe a new cpu, i have 2 4890s, so maybe a gpu upgrade at the end of 2010 and 8gb of ram :)

Nothing, there are no games coming out that need more then what I have, hell, it's overkill for 99% of games out anyway =D

Probably in 2nd half of the year-

1+TB SATA HD

New CPU/MOBO/DDR3 Combo (nothing currently on market)

40-46 inch 1080p TV for sports/racing games.. I like my 22-inch monitor for FPS and most games.

I'm not even building my new rig until next summer

well what resoltuion he kcicking it at.. i knw for a fact some cards can kick brand new titles on low resolutions still. an hd 2400pro can play dawn of war 2 (hd 2400 is worse than an x1550 O.o)

Thinkin of maybe getting into water cooling btw I am at uni so moving my pc around maybe a thing i do more than 2 times a year.. as in from uni to home etc. so would it be ok to do and is it worth. Main reason why i want to is 1. It looks awesome and 2. I fancy a lil project that i can keep adding too etc :)

I wont be upgrading anything...unless some new Crysis killer comes out/gamer082009
