is it worth it upgrading my cpu?![]()
Lol what? No......Originally Posted by Blindrage606;15286605
Most definitely. Wait until the 2700k drops this winter.
as in there will be new boards introduced in the end of the year?Originally Posted by Benz;15289703
Get yourself a 2500K and a Z68 board, that way you'll be future proof for Ivy Bridge CPUs.
I heard that Intel will be dropping their P-Series boards till the end of 2011.
Your rig parts are always going to drop in price and IMO, as long as your computer is still performing well enough for what you do, then there's no point in upgrading yet. With new parts coming out, it's worth the wait to see how that affects the prices of other componentsOriginally Posted by bengore;15288285

i dont want to upgrade, but i dont want to be left behind, and see my rig parts drops prices![]()
WAY too late for that, your parts aren't worth anything now. Welcome to the world of computingOriginally Posted by bengore;15288285

On the upgrade - I would for sure, I did and never looked back, I can get 5.1GHz on my 2500k without even pushing it, most people can get 4.5GHz with the push of a button, you can not with your chip unless you are running some serious water and you still won't get 5GHz. For the small price it would be to upgrade, I would go for it.
Just my .02
His current CPU should handle the latest high end games just fine.Originally Posted by Sisaroth;15289820
If you have too much money you can upgrade. I wouldn't do it however, except if you want to play the latest high end games.
By fair what do you mean? He will be lucky to get 45% of what he paid for his parts at best. If 45% is fair then I guess, but that doesn't sound fair to me.Originally Posted by Cyph3r;15289817

A small price is subjective and depends or its worth for his situation....Originally Posted by Sc4r3d;15289809

He could get a 2500K and Mobo for <$300, to me that is a VERY small price. That would be a HUGE upgrade over his current system.Originally Posted by CaPoX;15289834
