To upgrade or not?

[DF]Lenny

Thinking of upgrading my Dell 720h2c (q6850 3.7ghz , 8gb ddr,2 x 8800gtx , physx ,etc etc )

What would I go for a top end gaming rig budget 3-4k ,would it be worth doing as the above still runs most games fine @ 1900x1200 , and would I get much selling this to make it worthwhile?

Im not ruling out building it myself

1) An i7-980X rig with 12GB DDR3-2166 and multiple HD5870s/HD5790s/GTX480s and a GT220 for discrete PhysX/CUDA support, SSD for OS and critical files and RAID5'd 1TB HDDs for primary file storage.

2) Nope

3) Nope

At the moment you'd only be doing it for the good of your e-penis, wait for DX11 and massively-multithreaded game engines to become more prevalent and RAID5 to start talking to larger-capacity TRIM-capable SSDs before taking the plunge IMHO!

Upgrade the gfx card when you find a game worth playing you can't play @ the settings you want....

Otherwise as Solitare suggests: wait until there is a worthwhile tech jump before upgrading.

not worth the upgrade so it seems
