December 18, 201114 yr I have a Q6600 OC=3.35 with 6G RAM, GTX260I can either upgrade the CPU/MOBO OR the GPU but only oneshould I ONLY upgrade my GTX 260 core216 t0 a 560 TiOR ONLY upgrade to 2500KalI know....been asked a milliion times
December 18, 201114 yr Helloi5 2500K without a doubt, it is streets ahead of the Q6600.The 260 to 560ti will yield much less performance increase for your money.
December 18, 201114 yr I would go for a mobo/cpu upgrade any day. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
December 18, 201114 yr Is your RAM DDR3? if it's not you'll need RAM too if you change CPU + mobo, but it's so cheap now that it shouldn't be much of a problem
December 19, 201114 yr Author sure I knew about RAMbut I am stuck between the ASUS P8Z68-M PRO: small, has PCI for my Soundcard but no SLI, lesser priced thanthe better (for OC'): ASUS Maximus IV EXTREME-Z Rog Z68 4PCI-E16 PCI-E4 PCI-E1 Lucidlogix Virtu Motherboardboth are mATX which is fine I guess...
December 19, 201114 yr Go for a full sized mid range one. I don't think you will be needing the features of a RoG and its a waste of money especially if you are on a budget.
