HTCP upgrade help please

[13lives]

Hi am wanting to upgrade my aging media pc but am hoping to keep the case which is an Antec Fusion.

does this list seem ok? Am planning on more or less just gutting the pc and replacing everything, but as a first time am bit nervous in doing it,
or would it be easier to get a whole new system custom built?

Already have a 120gb SSD which would benefit from a speed boost with 6gb sata ports as my existing motherboard only has 3gb

Am hoping this spec will do for another 6 years lol

Thanks

It will work but it seem a little extreme (spec wise).

What do you use the PC for? Do you do a lot of 1080p gaming?

What PSU do you have?

Psu - the one that came in the case - sure its a 450w

Aye spec wise is quite high, but more for future proofing than anything else, maybe play the occasional game like sim city. More though just to get the latest kit

Fair point,

You should never need 16GB of RAM, 8GB is more than enough for gaming (at a high level)..

Just make sure you switch off the sleep states on the motherboard otherwise the chip may cause you're PSU a problem in sleep mode.
