---

i have an i3 2120 + 7750 sitting on an asus h61 mobo..naay epekto ni sa fps ug performance?if so ky im planning to change to a b75 or a cheap z77,total padong na december sale + 13th month salary .is it worth the upgrade?kontento nmn kos performance but it'll be a relief if i can squeeze a bit more.. thanx in advance..

b75/h77 nindot lang if ul be using IVB i5/i7 ang pcie3 compatible videocard-but how much performance is wa la ko khbaw

[lobster]

aahh..d man musogot akong bulsa sa i5/i7 boss hehe... nya murag useless sad kng e.change nko ang 2120 for an i3 3220..murag pcie 3.0 compatible mn cguro ang 7750 not sure..factors like usb 3.0,sataIII,ug kaning lucid virtu mvp( nga wako kasabot) (boosts gaming responsiveness up to 70%??tinoud?)
ang nkapa duha2x nko..wako kabaw how will i benefit from these..

[werty]

usb3=unless naa jud ka usb3 device dha magamit, wala pulos(ayaw dahom ug cdrking brand hehe)
sata3=murag gamay ra ni difference compared to sata2, unless tingali if SSD imo gigamit?
pcie3=only multiple cards and higher models maka bottleneck ani hehe

conclusion - your unit is good for now(assuming u have 4gb or more memory and good powersupply) if u really wanna upgrade, sell your 7750 ang change into higher models if ur into gaming, or sell i3+mobo and buy i5+h77/b75 board if ur more on productivity

IMHO

just for reference, im still using E5200+hd4770 and still contented with it, online games raman pud akoa- but i have an urge to get quad-core for my conversion needs, jst waiting for good 2nd prices or a good drop in prices.

2120 + 7750 +h61 > z77 wont affect performance at all. Unless you go sli gtx690 or cf 7990. Ayaw gud patintal bai ug ayaw pud pag-tuo sa uban nga sigeg ingon nga karaan na ang h61. Just upgrade parts that would make a big difference like:

Monitor: if you dont have fullhd, its time to buy one.
or
Speakers: a good set of studio monitors would greatly enhance your gaming experience
or
Ssd: it wont really add frames but its worth an upgrade
or
Casing: if you have generic, its about time to get one with good airflow and better aesthetics and less maintenance

Ako kay ako chipset is H55, karaan na pud but it dont matter. My next upgrade hopefully would either be a Network MultimediaPplayer with NAS functions or a good ergonomic computer seat (i hope i can afford a lazyboy). Layo kaayo ang upgrades but these things are wotrh the buy..
