ya.. i planning to upgrade gpu to hd5770 (or better), but i've read that my proc will bottleneck hd5770, and they suggest OC da processor.. and considering the new gpu + OC, it is time to change psu i think.

let say i have those psu and gpu.. between (buy new HSF + OC) or (buy new proc), which is worth?

if new hsf, can list da model+price range?
if new proc, can list da model+price range?

thx 4 replying.. my budget is flexible.. but i didn't think Q9550 is an option for me. if its price is RM600++ <-- (Q9550 new or 2nd hand?), better i 'peram' and invest for core i series later.

and psu? did CMaster GX 550 can support hd5770+oc? or shuld i go for more watt (650, 750)?

uh.. what the heck is true power? i refer cycom pricelist, and it say CM GX series is true power..?

ahh.. thx 4 da link!

btw, 500w true power is enough for hd5770+oc? or shuld i invest for higher watt?
