Time for an upgrade. Every two years I usually build all new. Not this year, I still haven't gotten all I can from the Core 2 series and can use the money for other stuff.
My current system is based on the E6850 (3ghz) with a P5KC Asus motherboard. It doesn't support PCIe2.0 and has to go. I have 4 G of dominator RAM. The power supply is not modular wanted to change that out.
upgrade parts:
E8600 wolfdale (3.33 ghz)
Asus P5QL/EPU (P43)
XFX GX275XAHFF (GEFORCE GTX 275 896MB)
CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX 620W Modular.
Also ordered a new case so wife is getting an upgrade from my remaining parts.
