| JEMC said: If your plan is wait till the end of the year, asking for advice now is pointless. In the CPU front, Intel will launch new CPUs that will replace the high end socket 1336 (i7-920/930, 950, etc.), and AMD will launch Bulldozer. In the GPU side, both AMD and Nvidia will surely launch new card by then, and this time they will be based on the 28nm procces instead of 40nm, so you will get a lot more performance with less power at the same price or even lower. With all this said, if you want to upgrade by the end of the year, ask this again in November. |
This. A lot.
Bulldozer, 6 core SB and 28nm GPUs will be the upgrades you'll want to get.
However, why would you want to upgrade? If your computer is running everything you currently do well, there's no need to spend more money. Your system is fine.
