i am going to upgrade my whole pc or a part of it and the soler eason is to play dolphin more effeciciantly and ofcourse because it is quite outdated to get a decent gaming rig for normal pc games as well.
here are my current specs:
intel E5200 @ 3.3 ghz
ati 4850 toxic 512 mb
4 gb ddr2 ram
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
450 watt huntech psu
my first upgrade i want to do is the following:
get either an E8400 / E8500 or E8600 cpu and oc it like crazy (but my mobo stinks so i dont have voltage tweaks and the such plus my psu is only 450 watt i want to upgrade that as well)
700 watt coolermaster psu
total price around 250 euro
second upgrade
core i 3 or i5 at highest stock clock settings (probably the i3 with 3.3 ghz or the i5 with 3.0 ghz)
4 gb ddr3 ram
new mobo with good overclock abilities (can use some help here on the 1156 socket boards)
ati 5850 1 gb vidcard (could still use my 4850 but hey if i am upgrading the whole pc might just do this as well )
700+ watt coolermaster or ocz psu
total price 750 euro
so is it a wise decision to upgrade my whole pc or slash some cash and go for the simple upgrade?
my doubts lies in is the E8400 overclocked to 3.6 ghz slower then the i3 or i5 overclocked to 3.6 ghz (because of new arcitechture and the such)
thanks in advance ^_^.V
