Hi all, basically I have a desktop computer, that has been serving me well since I built it several years ago. I have been away from home working for several years and have lost touch with current tech. I now want to update my desktop computer but have no idea what and how to upgrade?
Current Specification:
Current Setup:
I reckon I am going to have to upgrade the CPU, Mobo, Ram, GFX and Hard Drive, possibly PSU (not sure on this one), anything else I need to replace?
Any ideas as to what and how to proceed? Upgrade is to improve performance, storage space, I would like to "rip" all my DVDs and view them on my big TV in the living room? I play all my games on the Xbox 360, but may like to play the new MMORPG Star Wars game that's coming out?
Current Specification:
- Coolermaster Praetorian Case
- Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2GHz (2 CPUs)
- MSI Motherboard
- 2048MB RAM (2x1024MB DDR Corsair Memory Modules)
- ATI Radeon X850 (400MHz) 256MB on a Dell 2005FPW (Digital)
- 2 x 200GB Hard Disk Drives
- 2 x Sony DVD Drives
- 1 x Sony CDRW Drive
- 1 x Sony DVDRW Drive
