hello!
right now, it's christmas and this means that i have an opportunity to upgrade my rig by several pieces again. my current rig is getting pretty outdated and i think i will make only 1 or 2 upgrades to it, then i'll not be upgrading it anymore.
current setup:
cpu: intel P4 3,0Ghz
mobo: intel cherry creek D915PCY
ram: 1,5GB 533Mhz (will upgrade to 2,5, maybe more after)
gfx: radeon HD3850 512MB
psu: 550w
now i want to upgrade the cpu. what bothers me, is if i should buy an intel e5200 or 7200. the mobo is a piece of ***** and matches with the e5200 fsb speed. e7200's fsb is too high for my current mobo. now i am thinking if i should buy 5200 or 7200 and a new mobo next year. discuss. (buying a new mobo next year would mean i will overclock my gfx and cpu)
