IS it time for a upgrade

[Lyt]

Yeah sure, it was the pretty [email protected] comment which wasn't helpful

Sure buddy, whatever you think.

@OP

Ask Joker, he does custom builds for good prices.

2nd step after deciding to upgrade is setting a budget - so what is yours?

[Graal]

Dude, seriously not a helpful post

Not really, it's true. You get netbooks with better specs nowadays for R3000, not including the graphics card, obviously, but a GTS250 probably costs around R500 now.

GPU: 250gts
so its it time for a upgrade and is my gfx still solid

No it's not.Can be used for for paperweight.

And i cant seems to find stores that stock biostar mobos

But why?There is so much more better motherboards out there.


Like the guys asked you,give us an amount of what you can spend and lets see what we can do for you.

Like was said earlier... what is your budget. If it's like R2000, you may almost just stick with what you have

[CLEMENT]

5k is my budget

[TBlaar]

OK, spend around half of it on the GFX The rest you can get an i5, mb and ram from. I suppose your case and PSU is still okay?

Decide what you want first. Then check online stores.

You wanna go LGA 775 / 1155? I just upgraded from an LGA775 Core2Duo E8400 which I o/c to 3.8Ghz, but it was still bottlenecking on GTA4 and BF3 on 1920x1080.

Hope that helps. I would definitely recommend 4 cores. The rest depends on your budget.
