Hi all,
I have an Antec Fusion which I've been using as an HTPC for a couple of years now, but it's time to upgrade and will be looking to game on it as well.
I'd like a dedicated graphics card, but I can't seem to work out which ones will fit. It might also be worth noting that I have 2 x gtx 280s lying about (as well as a q6600), but a) I'm not sure if they'll fit and b) not sure one of them would cut it now on games like Dirt 3. Is there any point trying to make something using these? Or just sell them and get all new parts.
It's been about a year since I've done any shopping for parts so I'm a little out of the loop. A shopping list would be really appreciated.
Budget - not really too much of an issue. I'm not made of money, but at the same time I'd like to build something that's going to last.
M/board - £100 - £150?
8gb ram - £30?
Processor - £150?
G/card - £150 - £200?
Cooler - £?
SSD - Will only want a small one 100gbish
Thanks in advance for any help
