Upgrade hardware
Oi 
need ur help,
So I've got this computer since 18/01/2011 but I'm thinking about upgrading it.
Here are the specs:
I mostly use my computer to game so I want something that will keep up for long enough.
I heard about these new Sandy Bridge processors and that they are extremely good;, so maybe something of that kind.
My budget is , so just throw it in, and with a bit of explanation if possible, and a webshop link is preferred (available in Belgium).
Pastebin of the dxdiag, if that is of any use: http://pastebin.com/eKXHA662

got same on 2k02 comp lol
Since they are all from Seasonic
Next to that your memory... 1x4GB? Wtf take at least 3 modules with Bloomfield, so 3x4GB = 12GB for triple channel.
And further i would just overclock that i7 to like 4GHz or higher, no need to get sandy bridge.And if you don't have enough GPU power just get another HD6850 for CF. You will get more FPS with that, since your i7 will not really limit your GPU's at any resolution, so non need for SB.
But the most important SSD!
Get Crucial M4 SSD http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/282241/crucial-m4-ct128m4ssd2-128gb.html
your welcome.
And I never overclocked before, don't want to fuck it up :P

Further, just google it's easy to overclock just read, and if you fuck up just reset cmos.

All parts you need to run crossfire with good PSU/SSD and 12GB mem, no need to further upgrade imo.
SSD will be a huge change, if you didn't use one before.
Perhaps, you also want better sound?

That is also nice in combination with a good sennheiser headphone for example HD558/HD598 with zalman clip for example.
edit: added memory, see again.
edit2 : added sound, i would personaly invest in that. But thats my pov.
maar kun je ff uitleggen wat die SSD is? Heb iets gelezen, maar begrijp er niet veel van.. Is het een soort RAM?
Het is gewoon een hardeschijf die gebaseerd is op MLC flashgeheugen, je moet daar dus je windows/programma's op installeren zoals gewone hdd. Maar een SSD is veel sneller en een lagere accestijd. Alle pogramma's die je opstart, of bijv een map laden in ET gaat veel sneller. Bijvoorbeeld Windows 7 zal onder 10 seconden starten als je die op je SSD staat. Dus een SSD gebruiken voor Windows/games/programma's en een 1/2TB hdd voor films muziek etc
Daarnaast maakt een ssd geen geluid, wordt hij niet warm, en gebruikt maar 1~2W
Persoonlijk heb ik liever een ssd dan een proccesor die veel sneller is omdat het gewoon veel meer gevoel van snelheid geeft.
Get a real PSU since this is the most important part of your pc :]
