My PC as just died think it might be the gfx card but have no way of testing plus think it was time for a upgrade anyway. I was thinking i might just buy new parts but at the moment am on a very tight budget as am not working at the moment and I have £300 left or at least till am working again. The only parts I think I could save from my old pc is the 500w Psu and the case. I would Like to try and make a ok Pc and to be honest maybe just upgrade the Gfx card when I get a new job and maybe the memory
I was recommend somewhere else to get a
Intel Core i5 3570K
Asus P8Z77-V LX2
Crucial 8GB
for around £310 ish
I would like a decent Pc for now [ big ask] that when I can I can just buy a good gfx card when I have the funds
 
Am not sure what the psu think its a coolmaster green power 500w. Heard 3570k is the better option to go for
 
Found a 3570k for £145 second hand somewhere else. It will be for games but I realise it wont be for a while till I can afford a gfx

Sorry for the slow replys and the mistakes am doing this from a mobile and its horrible. Sorry nearly for got I've got a few sata hdds and dvd writers so am ok for them
