I thought I'd share my soon to be new build. Nothing is set in stone and any suggestions, recommendations, will be welcome.
Currently I have
E8400 @ 3.00GHz
ASUSTek P5QL-E
4gb DDR2 ram
Radeon HD 5770 Vapour-X
500gb Samsung HDD
Coolermaster case of some description
I built this a couple of years ago adding the 5770 last year sometime.
Now this does everything I want well. Plays games with no issues I can see and any other tasks I set it get done admirably. The reason I am going to upgrade is the best reason there is.
I want to.
I plan on ordering in 3 stages (all related to pay day at the end of each month)
This week I am ordering the Case and PSU (ordering Wednesday unless the case stock drops faster than it is)
Start of November I shall order the SSD's (2 of these in RAID 0 plus my existing 500g drive)
The end of December the rest
Of course the SSD's and overclocked bundle all depend on what's available at the time of order but that's basically what I want.
I shall keep the 5770, for now, and may either upgrade to a faster single GPU, or get a 2nd 5770 and have 2 running.
Any suggestions?
