I want to upgrade this system;
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E4600 @ 2.4 ghz
Ram: 4GB 2x2 Kingston Value Ram PC2-5300
Motherboard: MSI P6NGM-L
GPU: MSI 460 GTX 768 MB GDDR5
PSU: Ultra LSP 650W
I was thinking of:
1) i3 - 2100 $115
2) Asus P8H67-M LE $100
3) Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (2x4GB) 1333MHz DDR3 $98
which comes out to about $350
Now the question I have is , is that a good upgrade or should I spend an extra $70 and get the i5 - 2500.
Also is it worth 8GB ram or is 4GB ram sufficient as I use my computer to play the latest PC games and also Dolphin and PCSX2 ?
