    Thinking about some upgrades

    I think some of my computer components are getting old?
    I can run everything including FRAPs at 75 FPS and not get hiccups or lag so something must be good in my setup...i was thinking my video card, and please no intel or Nvidia suggestions thank you

    AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 Ghz
    not overclocked even though i should, anyone have this same CPU that can share some insight in how much you can clock it at before it explodes.
    ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler

    ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB
    My video card doesnt exceed 44 degrees celsius. Can run BFBC2 at max settings dunno how but it can


    CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
    I have never had problems with this company, been using these guys since i started building, for about 8 years now....started building PCs when i was 13

    I have x4 120mm Fans
    My core temp never goes above 42 degrees celsius and my CPU never comes close to the 60 degree caution temp, it stays at about 40 celsius idle, and 47-48 celsius when playing BFBC2 for hours

      It really doesn't seem like you NEED to do anything right now.

          Why limit yourself? The only one who loses out is you.

            ive been reading on some overclocking and alot of people or saying they cant get it past 3.792 Ghz without it failing so im thinking im gonna try 3.6 Ghz for now since my Processor according to overclocking.net is better then the new intel CPU
