waiting to upgrade my E8400

[sHrike]

ever since i upgraded my graphic card to a GTX760, i was expecting to upgrade my CPU due to bottleneck. However to my surprise, this beast is able to run in ultra settings for almost all the games (with exception of crysis 3) . My screen resolution is 1650X1050. Granted my screen is not big but I am very satisfied with the lag free gaming so far compared to my previous GTS450.

I was wanting to upgrade to i5-4670 soon but I think i can wait a while now...wait for haswell to drop prices.

Lol u can slowly wait. Intel hardly will drop price.

How about this... wait and save more then buy the most beastly i7 CPU
Then you can use it for another 5 years with only needing to change GPU unless Intel make radical breakthrough in 2014

just wanted to also point out that gaming on PC seems to have hit a plateau. We need a revolutionary breakthrough....

GTX 760 overkill for that resolution..

in my case, the jump from e8500 OC'ed to 3.8ghz to i5 2400 is alot.
