| how much performance increase would i see from a new system? hey,
I am kinda of bored of my current system and i was entertaining the idea of building a new system. with that said, i don't really want to just go and spend $1K because my current system is a bit old.
all I really do is browse the web, burn dvds, cds, use winrar alot, quickpar and some times photoshop.
Please take a look at my current system config (below) and what i would like to get if i find that it would be worth it. by the way, i don't game on my pc anymore.
Let me know if a new system will really give me any performance improvement (given the tasks i usually do) or if i should just spend $110 for an ASUS P4C800-DELUXE and overclock that. CURRENT SYSTEM:
cpu -> P4 3ghz prescott
mobo -> biostar P4M80-M4 (had to buy this after my asus P4P800 died)
mem -> 2x1g g.skill
video -> leadtek 6800LE (fully unlocked)
hard disk -> 1x400g and 1x300g
PS -> Seasonic 400W or 500W, i forgot What i would like to get:
cpu -> Intel core 2 duo E8400 $199
mobo ->Asus p5k-e/wifi $150
mem - >OCZ Flex XLC (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1150 (PC2 9200) $106
video -> ASUS EN8500GT
new case -> Thermaltake LCS Kandalf $300
i will use the same hardrives and power supply.
Thanks for your help
