Keep Phenom II X4 955 BE or get i5

So i wanna sell my setup as shown in sig.
So is the i5 vfm or should i just OC my setup.

If you want to upgrade your current rig go for i7 920 or 940 why i5.

Core i5 is VFM but for someone upgrading from an older gen. PC. It would make no sense if you upgrade it. You will get performance improvement but it wont be VFM for you. Its like paying 20k to upgrade from phenom II X3 to P II 965(proccy + mobo). Best is you OC it. And wait for 32nm proccy. Or hang around and get a FERMI, itll add some juice to your general computing as well!!
You can also include i7 in that, its same story no VFM.

how much can i expect from my proccy-board combo sale ?

Your mobo+cpu will sell in such rate that you will be able to buy a brand new
i7 920

Question: Why do you want to sell it?

^^^ ha ha i like that....i was planning to ask the same que
keep it bro.....PII x4 955 is superb

Why on earth would you want to make a change ?? You will hardly get any performance boost, you will only save a few watts at best.

+1
Performance increase will be like 5~10% at max in real time, especially with a weak GPU like that which cant tax even a good dual core to max [x2 550 or E8400].

I suggest, sell off that GTX 260, and get a 5850/5870.
Guaranteed performance boost of more than 100% in most games [with 5870] in full HD with lots of AA and AF.

And i think the 955BE can easily do 4.0 G stable. More than enuf for holding even a 5870 CF.

Seriously upgrade gpu and not the proc + mobo because that phenom is really good.

You can get 10k-11k for proccy+mobo and + 1k more if setup is fresh and within warranty period.

So toal you can expect 12k max for mobo+proccy

ohh
not that low
that proccy new one is for 9k and mobo for 8k+
SO you can expect atleast 12k for both and even upto 13k if they have local warranty and is less than 6 months old.

IMHO You should get 14K. With very low power consumption and better performance, i5 750 is worth considering especially if you love having a look at different technologies .
I really love that myself

can u sell ur cpu for 5k? did u oc it ?

the combo is up fer grabs in the market. chk it out.
