Guys please suggest
Guys please suggest
Thanks for replying !
could you pls tell me the different quad core processors that I could buy which would certainly have an improvement from my existing c2d. And what would be the sweet spot, between price and performance. I would not like to go for a processor which gives me very little performance change.At the moment its just one upgrade so cpu or gpu ?
yes I should have mentioned I have upgraded my ram and now the total is 4 gb. I have always been curious about the overkill subject. What would the ideal processor be for a 5850.
Say for example I play a game like splinter cell conviction at 1440x900 and my system has a 5850, would it make a difference in fps from the ati 4850.
I am basically looking at gaming performance improvement and not any other applications.
Certainly there is always a debate about games not optimized for more than 2 cores and the sli, crossfire being limited to certain games.
I play games like ac2, modern warfare2, call of pripyat , arkham as, etc
more suggestions please !

Need some more suggestions as to which quad core to go for, and how much will it cost me.
Since a lot of members have advised to get a 5850 later, it would be good to get a quad core that actually performs rather than the feel good factor of a high system. Since the quad core ranges from a Rs 7000 to Rs 17000 need one that suits the current build and has options for a future 5850.

err he is getting used second hand gpu gtx 280 for 9k from me
i am asking if he need update for better deal cause the gtx 280 beat 5770 in some review cause of giving more fps resolution's at full HD
the 5850 cost 15-16k so 6-7k extra more so cannot spend for more money for new gpu

Since i have a 14" CRT the max i play now is 1024 * 728. I do not have any probs with playing any games in max setting at this resolution.
However i am gonna get a new LCD probably 20 or 21" so i was looking out for a decent upgrade to my GFX since 8800GT will not meet the demands of 20". I saw Arun.P is selling GTX 280, so was trying to figure out whether it will be a good upgrade to go for it?
@ adi_vastava - he can buy a q9650 or a q 9550 for p45 chipset.... q9550 costs around 15k
Intel® Core?2 Quad Processor Q9550 (12M Cache, 2.83 GHz)

you will have problem with availability of the Qx quad cores ... atlest i had when i was looking to get a quad core for my pc a couple months back... here in chennai there seemed to no new cpus(fresh stock) inc for the 775 socket. I would suggest you to hold on to this rig till next year since Intel is going to change the socket next year ... if you still want to upgrade get a quad from the second hand market. Try and get the Q9XXX as these have more cache then the Q8XXX which are currently available in the market.
