Hey OCN,
__________________I have $400 and i would like to upgrade my Sig Rig! My first option was to get an e8400 and an EVGA 750i MoBo and keep the rest of my PC! IS there anything else i could do that will make the PC better then getting th 750i and the e8400? Here is the email i sent to my Local PC Shop about this! Hey Rich its Corry and I wanted to move to Intel and I wanted to know if you sold Intel? Im looking at the e8400 and an EVGA 750i board so i can keep my SLI'ed 8800GT's! Please let me know! And here is his reply! Corry, I don't sell Intel as they are not as good as a gaming processor. They run hotter, cost more, and have terrible warranties. Sorry Rich Now the only true thing in his rply is that they cost more!

Might consider waiting until the new intel chips come out in November before you upgrade. Not sure if your up to the DDR3 jump...

Its really hard too upgrade your rig. I mean moving from your CPU to E8400 not that much difference. I would get 4GB ram first and then maybe upgrade CPU but i would recomend to go Quad at least to see the difference.

Get the 750i FTW, an E8400 or E8500 and a sweet cooler and that'll be a good upgrade for you.
