Hey guys christmas is just around the corner and I was think of upgrading at boxing day sales. I am willing to spend aroun 400$ and i live in Canada so take that into account for prices here is my current rig:
Intel e6550
ATI 4870

2GB DDR2 6400 OCZ RAM

Gigabyte GA-p35-DS3L (revision 1)

I was thinking on getting a new CPU with more RAM but i am having trouble finding a good choice for my price point

Any help is much appreciated

Personally I would go with the new 4850X2 from Sapphire, beat out the GTX280 with everything maxed and is much cooler and much quieter than the 4870X2 and its around the same price point as the GTX 280 and gives better performance
