To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question.
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen of the computer forums,
I come to you today with a simple question, should I upgrade my computer? I ran into a nice sum of money not long ago and I'm asking just because I can lol..
My current setup is:
Phenom X6 1090T Black
16gb 1333MHz ram
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-D3 mobo
Crossfire HD6970's(one 6970 and unlocked 6950)
60gb crucial M4 SSD
2x 1tb hdds
Coolermaster Stormtrooper case
Please no amd/intel war or flaming, I'm just looking for honest opinions.
Do you really feel like you need to upgrade?
If you don't feel it's lacking then wait.
If you have money and you want to upgrade, I'd wait for Piledriver, I really would. (edit: At least to see how it fares. I really, really don't think you find performance lacking atm)
Not really "lacking" much, but it is a bit older system, basically I'm just looking to upgrade because the option is open to me at the present time, I dont usually get many chances like this so I want to take an advantage while I can. Is there any info on the release of piledriver?
Vishera (ie, the parts of the Piledriver family that doesn't have integrated GPU and fits AM3+) is said to be released Q3 2012, meaning July-September.
