Lo,
Been a while since I last updated my PC so have been reading several sites to get clued up again.
Main use is gaming, whether WoW,Total war games BFBC or Dragon age
Current PC is Win Vista64, Intel core2duo E6750, 4gb ram, Geforce 9800gts, enermax liberty 500w psu.
Im looking at getting and think its good value for money atm and should see a huge increase:
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with HAWX2 PC-Game £144.98
(£123.39)
Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - Retail £140.99
(£119.99)
Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard £92.99
(£79.14)
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599) £82.99
(£70.63)
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) £65.99
(£56.16)
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD103SJ) £41.11
(£34.99)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler (Socket 939 / AM2 / AM3 / 775 / 1156 / 1366) £15.98
(£13.60)
Is it worth spending another £40 to get the Geforce GTX 470 or is the 460 as good?
Will my 500w PSU be fine for this upgrade? Never had any probs with it so far.
Keeping current case, Keyboard etc Monitor is 20" NEc Multisync 1680x1050. Old but still working fine.
Any other thoughts?
