I first build my current system basically when i was given some parts from a friend. Then over the past year i've purchased slight improvements but with BF3 nearly here i've been researching to upgrade. So at the moment i'm using:
Intel Core 2 6600 @ 2.4Ghz
ECS elitegroup P965T mobo
4 x 1Gb DDR2
OCZ Agility 3 60gb
PNY GT220
Antec P180 case
Right so i decided i need a major overhaul but i am on a mediocre budget of around £400 and after a bit of research i have loosely decided on:
Intel i5 2500K
Asus P67 Sabertooth
Crucial Ballistix 2 x 4GB 2000Mhz (if the come in stock soon)
I will purchase a more capable graphics card when my funds are up to it and i do intend to overclock the i5 (something my previous mobo didnt like
)
This motherboard should also play a but nicer with the SSD than before.
So the question is, has anyone had and issues with this hardware i am not aware of? or could you suggest any different/extra hardware?
