I am looking to upgrade my cpu, ram, motherboard. I have a 480W Enermax PSU, Lian Li case, Radeon 4670 PCI-Express, 500GB SATA hdd that i will be keeping.
I will need 16GB ram for some of the VMware stuff i am planning on running on there and only want to spend around £300. So far i have come up with the following:-
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H AMD 880G (Socket AM3) microATX DDR3 - £64.99
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition - £107.99
G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz (x2) - £140
Total £312
I cant afford a sandybridge setup, going for a H67 motherboard and lowest i5 would be about £370 which is too much, and i wouldnt give up any ram, so are there any suggestions on any changes?
I am not familiar with the different AMD chipsets so not sure if that motherboard is the best one for that price point and i would also like to overclock it.
Many thanks
