Hi guys, I am finding my PC struggling a lot with some of the new games I am playing these days so am seeking any advice with what I should purchase to run a bit better. (Specifically mobo, CPU and tower).
Currently I have
Unknown mobo (cant find any model info!)
AMD Radeon HD 6850
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core Processor 4200+
Antec Truepower 650w PSU
and an old in need of retiring AC tower.
I have been looking around and am interested in buying
CPU
AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core (3.5/4.0GHz)
or
AMD FX8350 Black Edition 8 Core Processor (4.0/4.2GHz)
MOBO
Asus Sabertooth 990FX.
I am running 4gb of DDR2 ram atm but have some 2x4gb DDR3 intel extreme masters ram so ram isn't an issue.
I am really unsure about the tower as the cpu + mobo come to around £260-£280) with a budget of around the £350 mark so perhaps could make some suggestions.
I'm not really planning on overclocking as I'm an overclocking virgin + I may need to deal with stock cooling for the time being.
So are what I have found decent or are can I do better?
Thanks in advance
