Yeah, what Soleron said.

Of course it also depends if you upgrade the CPU and GPU independent of each other, how much each component "should" cost:

Like, say that you plan to keep the CPU for 3 years but upgrade the GPU already after 1.5 years (which is my personal preference), then you don't necessairly have to put as much money on each GPU - but instead the combined money spent on the GPUs will still be a lot more than on the one CPU.

So, two version for a PC that you want to keep alive for 3 years and be able to run the latest games:

Version 1 (my old strategy):

CPU $150 - lifetime 3 years
GPU $400 - lifetime 3 years

or

version 2 (my current strategy):

CPU $150 - lifetime 3 years
1st GPU $200 - lifetime 1.5 years
2nd GPU $200 - lifetime 1.5 years

 

i'm going to use your current strategy then.. thank you ...

also, is this graphich card good? Geforce gtx295
