Hey all long time no speak so hope everyone is well.
Basically, I am off loading my old system to my Brother (aren't I generous
) which comprises the socket 775 setup with a Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H mobo.
My plan is to stick a Core 2 Extreme 6800X in it to replace the E6700 Core 2 Duo. My graphics card died (8800GTX) so it's currently running a very temporary Nvidia 7200GS.
It's running Windows 7 btw and has 2 x 2GB DDR2 sticks in it.
So, what I would like here is some help/advice on a few things please:
1. Is the CPU the highest rated for mobo?
2. Best graphics card (preferably above an 8800GTX) for mobo?
Not massively fussed about budget but don't want to go mad if I can avoid it. So yeah, that's pretty much it.
Thanks.
