Post subject:  New processor/new graphics card
Since i have a Intel 6320 1.86Ghz Duo 4MB on a motherboard that doesn't allow the processor to be overclocked, i really wanna get a new one. But i'm kinda short on money (i don't work at any jobs at all) so if i'll buy a new processor, i'm unable to buy a graphics card for a long time..

I'm actually still satisfied with my processors speed when it's just doing the windows vista, office, installing, etc. (Though i use TuneUp ALOT) In loading maps.... well, it's okay, but i'm usually one of the last people that joins in, in TF2.

My graphics card - the ASUS 8600GTS - well, it gives TF2 a FPS on 35-50 which isn't that good. I don't overclock it at all, 'cause i don't have any knowledge in that.

So, what should i upgrade first? :?

What mobo u using ?

If i were you, i'd upgrade your GFX card first with a shiney ATI 4870. Go's for around 200,- E atm for a highend card.

I think the 4870 would be overkill for the processor. Just spare a bunch of bucks/euros/rubels and take the 4850.

I just bought me a new shiny C2D E8400 @ 3.0GHz for 130 euros as a replacement for my E6300 (same GHz as yours). So instead of being one of the last joining, I'm now one of the first :D. In the same pricing area is the 4850. If you take some less GHz you would be around 250 euros... at least with German prices. ;)

Hmmm - Blackhawk... Considering that your E6300 could pretty easily run @ 3.0 GHz (my E6600 is running @ 3.2 GHz with air cooling with ~50-55 degrees under full load and has been like that for over 1 1/2 years now...) I don't think you made that great an upgrade. ;-)

im going to buy the nvidia GTX 260 atleast when i got the cash, i really doubt i would go for an ATI as i got an nvidia motherboard.

The change to the 45nm architecture and general chip design improvements are things you shouldn't forget. Only looking a the pure power isn't always the best way. ;)
