Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my spare computer for my GF to play Guild Wars 2/Star Wars online/The Secret world.

Please could you tell me what you think about this quick list I have created.

Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
Sapphire HD 7750 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
MSI H61M-P31-G3 Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Corsair Value 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Low Voltage Dual-Channel Kit

I have the usual stuff meaning Keyboard/Mouse/Case/Monitor/HDD and possibly use my old Antec 480W psu assuming it will run the above.

Although budget is limited to £250.00 ish I can expand it slightly if it would improve game play a lot.

Thanks.
 
You could always go for a G840 and 7850.
Slightly better motherboard (ie one that has USB 3.0 and preferably SATA 3)
8GB RAM? 4GB should be ok though, but H61 mobos can only support 2 slots of RAM by the looks of it.
 
Hmm updated things to this now.

Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
GeIL Black Dragon 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (GD38GB1600C11DC) x 2 (Unless one 8gb will be enough?)
Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
Sapphire HD 7750 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
 
If it would increase performance then I think I can squeeze abit more in the budget, I won't be ordering until end of this week anyway so there is time to find those extra pennys for more increase in power.
