Hi all Im planning on upgrading soon. Since i have not upgraded for a while and my current setup is just out of date basicly lol.
Ive dicided to go for a gaming rig since i want to start playing the latest games again, and also be able play newer games such as BF2142.
Im going to be keeping some old components such as the HD ect since i cant afford to replace them.
Heres my old spec below
AMD athlon XP 3200+
Corsair XMS 3200 (DDR 400)
Radeon 9800 pro AGP GFX card
Asus A7N8X deluxe mobo
Sound blaster audigy 2 ZS
1 x maxtor SATA 160GB
1 x maxtor SATA 250GB
Netgear rangemax MIMO wireless NIC
Antec Trueblue 480 PSU
New spec is shown below
MB-131-AS Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-131-AS) 1
£84.95 £84.95
CP-126-AM AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ (Socket 939) - Retail (ADA4200BVBOX) (CP-126-AM) 1
£109.95 £109.95
MY-079-CS Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2 (MY-079-CS) 1
£129.95 £129.95
GX-112-SP Sapphire ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-112-SP) 1
£178.95 £178.95
CA-038-TT Thermaltake VC3000SWA Armour Jr SuperMidi Tower - Silver (CA-038-TT) 1
£64.95 £64.95
Subtotal £568.75
VAT £99.54
Total £668.29
These are the main components that will be upgraded. But im decidng to keep both SATA (1.5GB) HD's and the sound card and wireless card. The rest will be new.
Ive also chosen crossfire since i can just add another identical card in the future.
Also can you recommed me a good PSU for this upgrade?, since at the moment im thinking of buying a TAGEN.
Does this new spec sound ok to you all?, if not please post your recommendations.
Cheers
