I fancy an upgrade but really don't have the time for messing around anymore - I',m not that much of an enthusiast these days.
What I mean is my current rig is housed in a lian li v2000 with a phase unit (now unused) in the bottom and triple rad loop in the top which was a great project at the time but now I can't be bothered with all that.
What I want is a 2500K overclocked rig to ~4.5 and I don't want to have to do much modding
budget is ~500. I need
cpu
motherboard (no need for SLI / xfire - not much of a gamer these days)
ram (4gb)
case
cooling (I am prepared to take the loop out of the old case but I can't be bothered with cutting up a new case etc. But also willing to go back to air if not too noisy or a h70 or similar. I no longer feel the need for THE best cooling to get THE best overclock)
I'm assuming my psu will be ok unless there are any new connector requirements since skt775
Cheers.
