Help Upgrading PC

The guys are spec'ing blind. We don't know what case this kit is going in which isn't helpful.

If you want to go AMD do things cheaply, try this and it saves you buying a budget dedicated GPU. The llano IGP is pretty good, you can always add a better GPU later.

Also we dont know if the HDD and DVD-RW is SATA, and whether the RAM is DDR3.

Hmmmm.....I've heard that mentioned before I'm sure ;)

It probably has a cheap low wattage PSU, IDE drives as well which are no longer supported really.

Sounds like all you are really going to "inherit" is the case by the time you finish upgrading the components

Hey you only talked about the HDD :p
I am not stealing your words ;)

Seriousily though Patrick we need to know what the case is and whether the re-usable components really are re-usable.

EDIT: Profit on what? The old PC or a new one?
 
I'm sorry but sounding like what your doing its a money making idea, and I like spending my time helping genuine people not wasting my time making other people money. So I am bugging out of this thread.
 
the sum of the parts you buy new is always lower than the price you sell as a rig 2nd hand.
unless you manage to con an idiot into buying the rig ;p
 
Looking at the rest of the thread it looks like you need a whole tower. Do you need a copy of Windows though? £216 is really pushing it.
 
I'll do an mATX build anyway since they can fit in both types of cases. If you can spare £5 more...

YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire HD 6750 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £79.99
1 x MSI H61M-P31-G3 Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £38.99
1 x Intel Celeron G530 2.40GHz Socket LGA 1155 Processor - Retail £33.95
1 x OCZ CoreXtreme 500w '80 Plus' Power Supply £32.99
1 x Corsair Value 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Low Voltage Dual-Channel Kit £23.98
Total : £221.89 (includes shipping : £10.00).



The Celeron may be dual core but in gaming it actually outperforms the Athlon due to a higher IPC. Most games don't effectively use 4 cores anyway, and games like StarCraft II will run fine on it, with the 6750 you should be able to play that at medium/high settings. You can also drop in an i5 later once you have the cash.
