Change the Motherboard to the Gigabyte Gaming 7 as you currently get 8GB ram for Free :) It is the Kingston HyperX red/black Ram, so it will fit your colour scheme.

This one:

This is the free ram:

^ Looks brilliant. Take your time reading or watching videos if you are at all unsure about specific things in the build. It's fun, satisfying when you complete it and can save a lot of cash over a ready made system, as well as the performance is greater.
 
Hi All

Quick Question - again

I may not be able to do a full build as such, so would need my current hard drive, GPU, Drive etc.

How hard is it to put a new M/B, CPU and Case together?

And what would happen with my current OS / H/D when I attach them?

Currently looking at the most cost effective route to switch my PC around and add some more power into it from the current mother board / CPU thats there?

And what sort of cost could it be done for?

Not bothered about DC etc, just a decent stable reasonable fast ish machine - not worried about O/Cing etc for this

I'm thinking this should do?

Add to this my Old HD with my OS installed, my GTX660, My DVD drive and PSU and Memory?

Should get round my bottle neck cheaply and give me some more life in while I save my money back up for a proper DC / Broadwell Big power build?
