Help Upgrading PC

I'm afraid of the intel celeron £30 processor being bottlenecked by that 7750 D:
Also what's better the 6790 or 7750 ?

It won't, the G530 is actually a pretty capable budget gaming CPU.

Quick look at reviews and it seems the 6790 just about pulls ahead. However it needs 2 6 pin connections and it may be too much for the PSU to handle. The 7750 doesn't need any extra connections, so it's very power efficient compared to the 6790.

The 6790 will push the build out of your budget anyway.

Do you think I should wait til I get the pc to order anything?

Are you getting this PC for free? Or have you bought it off somewhere?

Patrick2810 · 28 Jul 2012 at 18:47

For free, i'm picking it up next week

Fair enough. Might be best to wait for next week then, some things might become on offer. Will also allow you to check if the drives are SATA or IDE.
