Hi guys,
now my brother has decided he will upgrade his pc i am now in the mood to do it myself
The problem is my stupidly tight budget being a uni student.
The main aim will be to easily run diablo 3, think my current build will manage it but might not max it out (the requirements are quite low).
The current setup:
E6600 at 3.3ghz
8800GTX (oc2 version) - Will miss this gpu as it has served me so so well
4gb (4X1) ram
Power supply is 650W i think...
The budget is slightly flexible but less is better and properly going to try and get everything from the members market as it will allow for much more bang for buck
Thinking of getting a 470gtx for ~£100
and either a Q6600 or biting the bullet and going for a cheep I5 setup.
Might also try and pick up a cheep 30 or 60Gb SSD
What do you guys think is best? upgrade now via the MM or not bother till its more needed and the budget is bigger? Think with the new chips some people might be upgrading and some more nice deals will arrise on the MM.
