I am thinking I should start to upgrade my PC components, but would like to do it in an organized fashion. Any thoughts on what I should improve first? Here's my current rig:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
GPU: Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB 512-bit
Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
MoBo: ASUS P5Q LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
My guess is I'd see the most performance increase from CPU and RAM upgrades?
