Hi guys, I have £300 to spend on a base unit.
Parts I currently have are:
I need:
My use is gaming, 100% gaming, I appreciate they have other uses, but a gaming PC will cover any other use I may have for it. CPU is my current bottleneck (Athlon 64 dual core, GW2 runs like a slideshow in World vs World at times)
If it's possible, I'd like the option of adding another 6850 in crossfire at a later date. But don't bust a gut, if it means comprimising performance now too much.
As always, your kind expertise is appreciated, I could look myself, but I would be essentially wasting my time as I'd need to research what's currently what first.
I'm going from this Nasty-ass Dell PC so really looking forward to something I can manage cables in lol
Parts I currently have are:
- GPU - Asus HD 6850 DirectCU V2 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
- PSU - XFX Pro 550W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
- I also have a HDD I can use from the old PC (so no need for OS either).
I need:
- Case
- Mobo
- Ram
- CPU
- Optical drive (old PC has IDE optical drive)
