So I'm running the Rig in the Sig.

I've decided on perhaps upgrading and wondering if it really is worth the time/trouble.

I can sell my Motherboard/RAM/CPU for a net profit of 490 dollars on fleabay (Kinda suprising but I'm going off recent SOLD items)

My upgrade on Newegg (without looking for steals) would cost 602 dollars shipped.

GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58

G.Skill 3x4gb kit
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231356
Core i7 950 from microcenter
New LGA 1366 backplate for my Tuniq 120


So with alot of time/trouble my upgrade will cost roughly 150 total.


The question is..is it worth it?

I don't think so - you've waited this long, just wait a little more.

Sandy Bridge/Bulldozer is getting closer and closer. Not to mention that a Q9550 is still very fast.
