New PC?

[Turkish]

DDR3 is not worth the purchase right now, it'd be putting me out the price of a new video card, new CPU, new motherboard even if I bought the right one. I wouldn't even be taking full advantage of the capabilities of it.

In terms of what I need out of a system though? I need RAM and I need CPU power, I tend to use my systems more modding and other related tasks far more than gaming. CPU power along with RAM are my true bottlenecks when running current generation modeling software, slow render times and large page files. Abbadon, Looqas? I'd love to get something like a Q9300 but its out of my budget, as I've already mentioned I don't want to break that thousand dollar mark too heavily.

In the future I may have more money to spend, but for the time being I'm locked into a very distinct little corner. Besides, as of right now I've tracked down a Q6600 that's price at a three dollar difference to the E8400. Everything is open for debate though, so you have me thinking.
