£100 Upgrade

Kavalree · 20 Feb 2011 at 15:51

I have £100 to spend on my PC, after an arguement with my missus, I am spending it on me.

I am thinking an SSD, allthough I don't NEED one.

Anything else I can upgrade with £100?

PC spec is as follows..

E8400 @ 3.6Ghz
4Gb RAM
Biostar T-Power I45 mobo
MSI GTX460 Talon Attack 1Gb
Antec True Power 650W
Fractal Design Define R3 case
1TB F1
1TB F3
2x WD RE2 500GB
Fostex PM04 MKII Speakers
Saitek RAT 7 mouse
G15 Keyboard
Sennhieser PC230 headset

Anything I can really upgrade?

Go for the SSD you will notice a difference

If you want to buy now, SSD would probably be your best bet, however I'd probably keep hold of the money and save up to upgrade CPU/MoBo/RAM, hardly necessary but certainly a ncie upgrade

Wait a few weeks for the faster and cheaper Crucial C400 64 Gb drive.

I was thinking the OCZ Vertex 2E 60Gb because I don't have SATA 6Gb/s ports...

I think ssd's are backwards compatible but I'm not sure

But I won't get the full speed of it will I?

Might aswel go for the Vertex 2 then?

Maybe a second hand Q6600 could be a better upgrade

6gb/s SSD will work on sata 2 but at the reduced speed.

Using the 120gb & 60gb OCZ vertex and not looked back

+1. I also have the 120Gb Vertex; you will not regret moving to SSD.

Do you just recycle information that others write?

You don't even own a PC, and wanted advice on whether to buy one or a PS3. Hardly the person to give advice

OP, go for a new headset imo, aslong as you're not that bothered about load times.

Check out the Corsair HS1A or Roccat Kave, ill be getting the HS1A myself later this week!

I don't use the headset that often really, only when people are in bed. I also have a sennhieser PC230 for that...

Go for the vertex 2 60GB. I can certainly recommend it
