Need Suggestions on Upgrade Path

CPTMuller · 05-26-2008, 10:44 AM

So I plan on upgrading the desktop in my signature. My current plan would be to get a gigabyte p35, 2gigs of better ram, and a new graphics card (I have a zalman 9700 to OC my proc pretty hard) and potentially getting a new HDD.

So far:
Mobo ecs junk-gigabyte p35
ram generic 2gb-2gb patriot ram
GPU 7950GT-???
hdd-more

Other suggestions would be appreciated

8800 GT
Hard drive - 32MB Cache, Seagate would be good as well... with high RPM

Forget about Gigabyte P35, as your 965 should run everything fine. Get a P43 when it come out (June?)

RAM: may be 2GB DDR2 1066

GPU: 8800GTS 512MB
