My first post for anything like this... so apologies in advance if i have overlooked anything or asked any silly questions.
I am looking at upgrading my computer. I am currently running an Argon Extreme Intel Core i3 550 3.20GHz @ 4.40GHz Overclocked Bundle with Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card.
The previous parts were purchased from Overclockers near enough 5 years ago. I am defiantly in need of an upgrade.
The PC is used for Office taks and web browsing nothing too strenuous while in the evening I use games (league of legends etc. but would like it run the latest games)
Current PC (few parts have been upgraded in the 5yr period that I would possibly like to use on the new build).
This includes.
• OCZ ZS Series 650W 80+ Bronze Power Supply (PSU) (around 3yr old, might be time to change?)
• NZXT Phantom Enthusiast USB3.0 Full Tower Case - White
• Asus Xonar DS 7.1 PCI Sound Card
• Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache (this is 5yr old primary drive, might be worth changing)
At the moment I have been looking at the Intel Overclocked Gaming Bundles, the i5 and i7 range alongside an SSD (not sure if need a cradle, but would like the SSD as the new primary drive) for the OS and games using something like the GTX 750Ti or the 960 (nothing crazy, but will run games and be OK for 3yrs)
As for memory, have no idea if it’s worth pushing it to 16gig.
Sorry if there are any silly questions, or I have overlooked anything but budget is around £500-600
