Hi finally bought my first pc lol well first pc of my own
It's oldish
Has 4gb of ram on windows 7 32bit
And using a 650w psu
And a ASUS M3N78_Pro motherboard
Amd phenom x 4 2.2ghz clocked to 2.4 stock cooler
And a GeForce 9800 gt 7** mb
And 2 x 500gb hard drives one for c drive and one for the rest

Now then i only got the pc of a mate for £80 haven't a clue if that's a deal of if I got ripped off

But I want to upgrade what should I do first :s???
Was looking at a amd phenom ii x4 965 black edition the 3.4ghz will this fit?
Also heard good reviews on the GeForce gtx 650 will this fit

Now I've learnt all this stuff in a week
One week ago all I new was u turn it on and it works lol
That's what google and Wikipedias for aye

Any help will be much appreciated
 
Owww it's just a part time hobby Ive have other cash demanding hobbies "cars" lol
But seems that CPU can get for about 70-80£ on eBay and that graphics cards like 100-150£

Also just been told off a mate that I will have to do a "bios update"? Is that easy to do? Download from somewhere?
Sorry for being a complete noob to it all
And it's gona be used for gaming hopefully like dayz
Battlefield 3 and Eurotruck sim aswell as the Internet , wouldn't mind the odd photoshop as cs6 is already on it

I made this yesterday for my wheel
It's a lOgitech g25 it seems ok , TV and pc is at end off bed so could not get anything of the shelf so thought make one :)
 
Is there a link to that version of the bios? Do I just download and install ? Sorry for the noob give me a week more of googling I'll get there haha thanks btw really appreciate it
 
Gpu? What's that? The graphics card ?
Is a a gt 9800 in it ATM
Want to put a navidia GeForce gtx 650 or 660 if I can get a 660 cheap enough
Are they just plug and play on graphic cards ?
 
And I was just wanting to put that phenom ii x4 black edition in the pc just because there cheap enough and it apprently fits only thing I'm worried about is needing a "bios " update and haven't a clue how to do it , YouTube might help later tonight tho haha
 
The case is Pritty big and right so in order its
Psu
Graphics card
Then CPU the phenom ii black edition and then that bios ,
When I install that bios can I leave my hard drives in or will they get wiped ? I've got loads of films ect on them so don't want lose it all
Sorry if I seem "dumb"
Thanks a lot guys
Any links to the psu?
