Hey guy's.
I have a bit of spare cash at the moment and want to upgrade / build a new PC. I mainly use my pc for Photoshop, BFBC2, MW2, After effects , browsing etc. I am hoping you guys can give me a idea on what not to get and what to get. Most of the stuff i have has been working perfecto for me for 2 years now, exept for the motherboards, 3 motherboards over the 2 years. So thats why im looking to upgrade to quality stuff this time.
Would love to upgrade to i3 or i5, is there any point for what i do ?
Here is my curent spec at the minute :-
Intel E8400 3.00ghz x2 (Keep)
MSI P35 Neo 2 motherboard ( No sound any more)
4GB Crucial Ram 4x1GB (Keep)
Plait 9600GT (Keep) ( upgrade to 250 ?)
TPLINK Wireless N card (Keep)
Cheapo Sound card.
Modded Mac pro Case
Now i have a budget of around £200 to do this.
What i need want :-
New motherboard with :-
4 ram slots
Good layout
New case :-
Either
Coolermaster 335
Coolermaster Sniper
Antec 300
Antec 902
Want something a bit smaller, sick of big cases tbh
Not going near ATI and AMD
Prefebaly from OCUK
