Hello there. Firstly I'll give my current specs:
Athlon 3000+ skt 939
Antec truepower 380w
Gigabyte k8nfp
radeon 1800xt.
I'm looking to upgrade my processor to a athlon 3800+ x2 skt 939 and then overclock it to whatever i can get. My first question is; is it worth getting a 4000+ x2 with 1mb cache instead of the 512kb with the 3800+? Do they both overclock to similar levels?
Secondly, would i be correct in saying that i would need to change my psu? I was thinking about getting a 450W Corsair VX.
The emphasis is on budget here. Under £100 for processor and psu.
Thank you for your help.
P.S, where has the search function gone?
