Hi all, would aprreciate some sage advice on this system build before I buy. My current system I brought through OC last year is: Case: Cheiftech Dragon (had years!), Motherboard: Gigabyte MA770T-UD3P, 4gb Corsair Value ram, cpu: AMD Phenom II x2 550, gfx: Sapphire HD5770, psu OCZ Steatlh x stream 2 500w, 1920x1080 samsung monitor, os: windows 7 64bit home premium, Hdrives Samsung 232gb & 500gb WDigital.
I was looking just to upgrade cpu & gpu, but having seen how much performance increase Intel offers over Amd at the moment thought Id spec a whole new machine. Would appreciate advice on this build. Thanks.
