    Default Need help to upgrade my computer

    Hi I'm looking on upgrading my computer as it's starting to not cope with new games

    I'm currently using: Intel core 2 6600 2.4 CPU , Nvidia 8800gtx 728mb ,2g kingston memory on some asrock motherboard.

    Which one of these should I upgrade to see a better preformance overall?

    Hook us up with exact specs on memory (speed) and model of motherboard. CPU-Z will give you all the info. Reason I'm asking is depending on your memory you can easily OC that cpu on stock volts and air. As for the motherboard I'd just want to know if it can support 45nm chips cause a core 2 quad could be a possible upgrade. As for the video card it's still not that bad for games; if you were to upgrade you'd probably want to wait for Nvidia's new cards anyways.

    if your going to upgrade you might as well get 2gb more ram, a better heat sink and then oc it (this is if you get a better processor)
