Cheap upgrade

oldgit1 · 24 Mar 2013 at 03:01

Hi, its been donkeys since i built a system.
Specs of my dieing pc
Asus P5N-E SLI, intel d 3.4, 4gb corsair xms, some big cooler? and 500w psu, geforce 8600gt, 500gb hd 7200rpm.

I,m looking to build a new system, but with a budget of 400 (ofc i wont get a all singing rig for this, but sureley better than my current pc) will need a case & graphics card as well, i think all my pc gear is binnable.
Any advice.
My son uses it for wow, wot, games, i use it for photos, movie, surfing , mw3 etc
cheers

Zakks spec above is very good for the money. You can set the 5800k and 6670 into hybrid crossfire. This gives you very good graphic performance.

The case and psu aren't great but will be suitable.

Looks like a good bargain, especially considering the price of the ram and a better mobo.
