    Default What should i upgrade?

    Hello,

    i just canīt decide what to upgrade...

    My current system:

    4GB Corsair PC1600 C9 Dominator
    ASRock P55 Pro
    Cooler Master Silent Pro Series - 500
    Intel Core i7-860
    Sapphire HD 5770 1GB
    Seagate Barracuda 7200, 500GB
    Win 7 64

    I just canīt figure out which of the following components would give me the best perfromence boost:

    60 GB SSD, + 4 GB Ram or even a new GPU?

    Currently iīm playing Total War: M2K, Oblivion, Fallout NV and for the future iīm planing to play Skyrim and SWToR.


    Thanks in advance.

    Probably the GPU. A Radeon 6850/70 would be a nice upgrade. Keep the PSU in mind if want to get something more powerful than said cards.

    Alright. Now i only have to decide between 6850, 6870 or even 5850 Xtreme.

    The price should be around 150 €.

    I am only interested for this when i want to buy something new...

    My head hurts already after studying many sites to be up to date

    soon.

    And later this year iīll buy another 4GB Corsair PC1600 C9 Dominator kit.

    The SSDīs donīt seem worth the money yet.
