BF2S Forums Future upgrades...what should I get?

what kind of psu do you have?

Your CPU's are fine. Your video cards are fine. Unless you're rolling in cash, wait till Q3/4'07 or just '08, and then slap together a new system entirely. If you must get an 8800, wait until games are out that actually take advantage of all its features.

How much memory do you have?

Agreed, or wait for ATI's next to do a good comparison, by then various versions of the 8 series will be out, cheaper 8600s, ultimate 8950's or whatever they descide to name them.  Like unnamednewbie13 said, wait till September 07, intel will be releasing a much improved (apparantly) Quad processor, eventhough quad just came out but apparantly theres room for improvement, as always.  Amd I would expect to have something done by then now to get back at intel.

With the system u have atm, justifying these upgrades is difficult, yes you could of course always improve what you have, but the improvement compaired to cost wouldnt make sense, atleast to me

Wait for intels 80 core bad boy
