[QUOTE="dodothealmighty, post: 1630371, member: 407440"] Okay, so I want to upgrade my comp for gaming, and I know how to build a comp/stats, etc.. But I'm wondering about other peoples input. Right now I have a bad-ass video card, very nice DDR2 RAM, etc etc... except I'm being bottle-necked by the most important part; Processor. I have a single core 2.8GHZ processor, so it bottle-necks my entire system. It's been awhile since I check so I forget what socket type my board is, but if I remember there isn't any dual core processors for it's socket type` Do I have -any- other options besides dropping $900 to build a new one? I always hate processor issues, because it usually ends with an entire new comp... I was debating buying some cheap $400 comp and just upgrading it ~ Any insights? Thanks ahead of time, either way.
