Hello fellow simmers :( At the moment my rig consists of the following components : Motherboard : Asus P7P55D PRORam : 8 Gb DDR3 1333Mhz (4X2gB) / running at 1400MhzProcessor : Intel Core I5 750-8Mb level 2cache at default speed 2,66GhzHarddisk : WD 250 Gb SATA IIVideo card : Geforce 285 Gtx with 1 Gb ram - at default speedOS : Windows 7 UltimateAs far as I can see, I have a limited choice regarding the cpu because of the LGA 1156 socket and I guess that faster RAM also, will not make a huge difference. But I guess that changing my video card will make the biggest improvement, though I do not want to invest a million local dollars (Danish Kroner).Any advice is welcomed.Best regards Jesper

Your single largest improvement would come from buying a good aftermarket CPU cooler & overclocking. There should be several good OC guides out there for your CPU/motherboard. Just go slow, follow the guides & you'll have nothing to worry about.Total cost to OC = about $50 USD (260ish DKK)

Hi. Yes everything had been told. You should only buy a decent cooler and OC your cpu. You wont beleive to your eyes.

My system is very similar: i7920, 12 GB RAM, GTX 285, Vista 64 ultimate on an Asus P6T Deluxe Mobo.I've OCed to 3.6 using a very inexpensive corsair H50 (H70 is out now) and I'm very content. Great frames all around with most sliders maxed (including traffic (MyTrafficX)) using the NGX.

....Thanks so far to Kenneth, Laszlo and Vin... I will go and check out those liquid cooling systems - Looking forward to the NGX .Jesper :(
