    Been on few forums and i realized the smartest thing to do with 140e is to buy amd phenom II 940BE,what performance will i expect in games first of all?

    buy a 1055t instead.. going from a 810 to a 940be is almost a sideways upgrade

    that would be a small upgrade for the CPU, but doesn't your mobo support Crossfire? Adding a second 4870 would be a better upgrade gaming wise.... or sell your old 4870 for 80e or better and then have enough to get a GTX 460. ;)

    He lives in Serbia, so I think there's a bit of a price bump. Either way, your CPU doesn't really need upgrading. Get either a new hard drive (you're using a ridiculously old drive, according to your profile specs) or spend your money towards a GPU upgrade as Elder suggested.

    I suggest you buy yourself a woman because with what you can afford on a computer upgrade is pointless. Atleast with the woman you might actually catch something from her :)

    Get yourself a nice new sound card. ( Sound is just as important as graphics in games/movies. ):nerd:

    dont need quality right now,have 5.1 sistem and 2x150w(about 2x80w real wattage) working together,thats muscle.... :D

    Now as for cpu,gpu,hard drive,and monitor for 150e... whats the best to get,most of all i would like some better frame rates... i am gaming at 1440x900..

    And yea i live in Serbia and x6 here is about 200e,witch i dont have right now...

    And for adding another 4870 in my sistem,well i tought of it and i dont think my psu will manage it... But it runs well on oc-ed 4870 and oc-ed cpu @ 3.7Ghz... So about ~280w will go on the cards and i only have 2x12v rails with about 18 and 19amps,btw in everest it says my gpu uses 15-16amps... And another problem,it would be hard to find one more xfx 4870,none of the bigger pc stores here has them... Will i run into incompatability(or how does it spels) if i have different brand,and sure i will look for same memory and core speed/mem speed etc...?

    http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-4850-and--4870-crossfirex-performance/3 here is the review,i think i will be just on the edge.

    the Phenom II 810 holds well, I have that processor as well and it just ploughs through my work without incident.

    I have it OC'd at 3 GHz and it works like a charm. Just either stick another 4870 or pop in a Radeon HD 5850 or something to replace that card or something.
