Hello,

I brought it over four years ago and have not kept up to date with pc components. It's a Core 2 duo 4300@ 1.80GHz with 4gb ram. I'm mainly looking to upgrade my motherboard, ram and processor.

I recently brought a new power supply (corsair cx500m) and windows 10 retail.

I don't use it much at the moment. But, I want to use it for light general gaming and occasionally working(web development) from home.

I was initially looking at getting this bundle:
Z97-K - Devils Canyon Core i5 4690K Bundle

But, I'm unsure about whether I should wait because new bundles are coming out on overclocker.co.uk like

8pack-approved-intel-core-i5-6400-4.4ghz-overclocked-quad-core-gaming-bundle-bu-050-asl

Any suggestion?

Thanks
 
Thank you,

I found my order confirmation email from 2007 and the other components are:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.8Ghz LGA775 Processor
  • Asus P5VD2-X LGA775, PCI-E, DDR2, SATA2, 5.1Snd, GBLan, ATX
  • N-880D Silver ATX Case
  • Asus Radeon HD 6670
  • 320Gb Maxtor DiamondMax21 SATAI/II 8Mb Cache HardDrive
  • 1024Mb DDR2 533Mhz Memory Module (x2)
  • Hanns G HW191D 19 Inch Widescreen 5ms TFT Monitor with DVI
  • NEC AD5170A-0B 18X+/-DVD-R Dual Layer Dvd Writer

Initially, I just want to get a new processor, motherboard and ram. then upgrade my other parts. Like SSD etc.

Thank you for your suggestion, take a good look at this bundle.

Also that was a good point about coolers height. I'm unsure of an answer. I have a basic ATX case, so'll I need to do more checking.
