Hello,
I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to building computers and was hoping for some advice. A friend sold me his redundant pc and initially I was really happy, although now have found that the graphics card is quite loud.
The build:
Coolermaster Silencio 550 Silent ATX Case with GX 550W PSU
MSI 970A-G46 Socket AM3+ 8 Channel Audio ATX
AMD Bulldozer FX-8 8120 3.1Ghz Socket AM3+ 8MB with CM Hyper 212 EVO
2x 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ballistix Sport Memory
2TB HDD
I don't play any high end games (maybe 360/PS3 equivalent titles such as Fallout: New Vegas), so am looking to upgrade primarily for sound-minimizing purposes only (although being able to play more graphically intense games would be of benefit). I've been overwhelmed by the amount of information about pc building on the internet, it's hard to find somewhere to start. What's the best option for the components I have? Will I need a new MOBO or processor?
Thanks in advance.
