New Upgrades

PowerDemon · 5 Apr 2010 at 12:11

Ok so im thinking of buying these items:

Its quite a big upgrade from what im running at the moment, what i ask is does anyone forsee any problems with these items together or should they all work good together?

PS. I have a 500w PSU and an ATI 4870 gfx card.

personally id say drop the SSD and use the cash to upgrade to an i5 system...

I don't think I've ever seen a SSD and an i3 in the same basket! I would defo scrap the SSD and go for an i5 build!

Well i only thought on getting the ssd because of the speed, i only play 1 mmorpg and browsing the net and dont do any overclocking anymore so just wanted a bit of improvement over my current P4 3.4ghz, 2 gig ddr2 and 150gig crappy hard drive.

What do use your system for?

But tbh, as the guys above have said - you will get much more performance (in almost all situtations) spending the SSD money on a P55 board and i5 750 CPU (proper quad core).

The SSD may be relatively cheap, but 30GB is hardly anything - so unless you have 1 or 2 applications or games you use all the time - its won't be a massive benefit.

Also, I suggest going for this RAM, its faster and cheaper.

Yeah all should work fine, as everyone else has said, scrap the SSD and improve.
