Mobo, RAM, CPU and SSD?
Currently have a case and PSU. Antec 500W which came in the Sonata III case. Not very big by any means but a nice and still functional case I think.
Looking for an upgrade on my E8400 with 4GB of RAM and a 5850 1GB. Don't think I will bother with a graphics upgrade for now as I have just RMA'd the card so will either get the same back or something a bit newer. Is a 500W Antec PSU enough to cut today's tech? I believe stuff uses less power now but I may be wrong?
Let's say ~£400. An SSD just to put Windows on I think. Got a 640GB WD HDD still. Would I see a noticeable improvement for this kind of money as I do a fair bit of gaming?
