I will be playing Skyrim and BF3, and I'm upgrading for both. I learned that Skyrim is CPU intensive, and BF3 is GPU intensive. So, which would be a better upgrade?

FIRST:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500

from - onboard graphics
to - MSi R6850 Cyclone PE

4gig RAM



SECOND:
from - Intel Core 2 Duo E7500
to - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400

from - onboard graphics
to - MSi R6770 OC/ASUS 6770

4gig RAM


---------------------------
will be playing on 1440x900

get the 6850 for now.. atleast nice na imong video card... then just save up for a i3 2100 + h61 mobo hehe!

^ i agree. and by the time you buy the i3-2100, the ivy bridge is released (positive thinking only), thus the prices will drop.
which is good news for everyone. hehe

hahaha. I get your point. thanks!

NONE! You'd only ask for more if ma acquire na nimo. Budget kutob sa imo ma budget nga makuha nimo imo desired specs far better than your choices here and for whatever you need including those games.. and later on, totally stop upgrading! Waste of money lang nah cge upgrade. Hehe

First choice..

[ryangg]

go 6870 if kaya. But on your listed options, I go for option 1. Upgrading CPUs might have Mobo incompatibility. Check lang sa specs.

Maypa palit ka tong AMD na LLano then duwa lang sa using the built in GPU. If maka kwarta na, palit dayon og 13 inch na video card
