It's been 4 years since I last used this forum and 4 years since I bought the hardware for my computer. It's still working pretty well but there's been some red flags and issues that makes me think it's about time I upgraded. I don't really play cutting-edge games on here, so I'm not too fussed about a new GPU or CPU, I think the problems I've had are down to the motherboard and the hard drive more than anything.
It's been a long time so I'm pretty rusty with this stuff, so I'm not sure whether the newer stuff will be compatible with what I've got, but here are my current specs:
GPU: AMD HD 7800 Series
CPU: Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77
Hard Drive: Sandisk Extreme SSD 120GB & Seagate Barracuda 500GB
Case : Z9 Plus Tower Case
The main things I want to change are the hard drives (something like a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HD), the mobo and ideally I'd like a smaller case as I'll need it to be more movable in future. I'm weighing up my options, but my budget will probably be something around £200-£300, could you gents spec me and offer some advice?
