Just need some reasurance before i order my new rig.
my current spec is
Athlon 3000xp
2*1gb ddr400 ram
Ati 800xt gpu
1*80GB hd
1*160Gb hd
all running on a reserator.
My budget is under £800.
i play games mainly.
im looking at th 6600 conreo,
ds3 OR ds4 mobo
ati 1900xt gpu
2 gig or ddr2 ram
sata hd.
What i really need help with are what make of ram and help with the instalation regarding the hd. Does the ds3/4 have ata support so i can reuse my old hd's? if i install windows onto the sata connection (new drive), can i then just plug in one of my other ones and it will b up and running? or do i need to formatt it (so i need to back it all up!!!).
the upgrade will make it a huge difference over what i have, but am i being greedy just because i have the money, would an amd upgrade b better?
any help would b great.
