Best Proccessor/Mobo/Ram for $400 (CAD)

[matt54]

Good morning enthusiasts,

I am an avid Arma 2 player, It's almost sickly how much I play it in a given week.

Thus my question, What would be the best route to go to upgrade my Motherboard, Ram and CPU to get the best performance on this game. I know the game is very CPU/Ram intensive. I'm having a hard time finding the best combination. I will be buying a GPU later on as well, just gotta get the cash for that after.

I have to purchase it from [url]http://www.memoryexpress.com[/url], I don't have a credit card at the moment. So I will be going there to buy it.

I have been looking at the AMD Phenom II 1100T and the Intel i5-2500K.

My current specs are located here [url]http://speccy.piriform.com/results/TS9ps9uY7REwd0tblLDPCi9[/url]

I am basically looking for the best performance for $400 Canadian.

Thanks!

Get the gpu first, in your system, this will result in the biggest immediate performance boost.

Circuit boards are not the only one who can not afford to pay for the cost of the project is to develop a new method for the determination of the amount of the compound.

I forgot to state, I want to give my old parts to my dad. He needs a decent desktop. This is why I am buying these parts first.
