Hi there,
Currently have the setup below, and am looking to upgrade it as far as possible without getting a new motherboard and basically whole new system!
So far, I've bought a new x2 6000+, as this is just about the highest CPU the motherboard can handle - Abit didn't release a bios update to support phenoms before they shut down. Have also got 2gb more ram.
Need to add a video card, new PSU and a cooler. Have about £300 to spend. Want reasonable games performance, but just as importantly want quiet running when idle. Not fussed about overclocking, and have heard that the 6000+ won't do too well anyway.
Was thinking of:
OcUK value GTX260 - will this system bottleneck this card? How good a card is it worth getting for this mobo / CPU?
Be quiet dark power pro 750W (is this about the right amount of power?)
Sunbeam core contact freezer
Sound reasonable?
Any changes?
Cheers
