[B]-Budget:[/B] 1500 dollars. 10 000 Swedish krowns. I live in Sweden.
My current pc is this:
Mainboard: Asus P5QL.
Chipset: Intel P45/P43.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2400MHz
Physical Memory: 4096MB
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT
Hard Drive: 500GB Western Digital ATA Device
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium
I will be using my computer for gaming and pretty much gaming only. Occasionally I might record some videos but not much. I have not built my own computer but considering how easy everyone say it is, I will give it my best.
What should I change?
You need to buy a whole new computer, that motherboard is LGA 775, an almost obsolete socket.
I don't think you have to spend that much money at all. If you want to spend the least amount of money as possible then I would suggest that you get a decent CPU heatsink, and overclock the q6600 to a good 3.6 GHz or so. Then you'll probably need a new PSU, and then grab a GTX 5** or a 69** to finish it off.
But if you do want a whole new computer then with your budget you can easily get something high end as well.
Just my opinion.
