OK the wife wants a little upgrade to her PC ...she doesn't game , so its just internet stuff shes doing at the moment.

she keeping her Phenom 11 x4 965 CPU ..and she has chosen this mobo http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-471-GI&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=2046

and this PSU http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-003-SF&tool=3

Thanx

Looks good to me but is there any reason for changing the mobo? It's not going to make any great difference performance wise.

foster grant · 23 Oct 2014 at 15:05

ahh right then I might get her to just get the PSU ..as the one she has is a crappy high street cheapo one

and with the money saved on not getting the mobo i might get myself a 3rd SSD

Unless you have high consumption components beyond the CPU; you could consider a lower W PSU for less. The savings on purchase price most probably won't be saved with higher efficiency and the the 550w PSU will never be running in its highest efficiency 40-60% load.

This is what I'd do (assuming there's no SSD in the system already!)

YOUR BASKET
1 x Crucial MX100 128GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT128MX100SSD1) £54.98
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 350W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £41.99
Total : £106.57 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Stick the OS on the SSD and for an internet browser I think the wife would be very happy

Exactly... assuming there is no SSD yet, getting SSD drive is always best performance boost for older PC's. Even cheap budget SSD's will improve computer drasticly.

Doesn't seem fair somehow - put your steam games on the Origin SSD and give one to her!

It does not

Rhyswh · 24 Oct 2014 at 09:19

You big meanie! Let her have one! It would be a very nice upgrade for her needs.

What are you current Steam games installed on?

foster grant · 24 Oct 2014 at 09:23

I agree it would be a good upgrade.......but she doesn't want one lol
