First things first I'll give you my specs before I go any further.
Antec 300
Asus p5q-e
Hd 4870 512mb
[email protected]
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 pro
4gb ocz pc2-6400
OCZ 780w ModXStream
Samsung F1 320gb
Anyway, I built the above spec about a year ago and now I'm getting the itch for an upgrade. I'd like to do the upgrade in two stages, firstly geting a new case, gfx card, hsf and psu. Then once the cpu market settles a little bit I'd get a new mobo, cpu and ram.
I use the pc for gaming, surfing the web, watching movies, all the usual stuff.
For the first part of the upgrade I'd like:
Silverstone Fortress FT01
Nvidia GTX 275
Looking to spend about £45 on a heatsink
And about £100 on a psu.
This is just what I think, so any advice on better components would be greatly appreciated. And has anyone ever had any issues doing an upgrade like this e.g. computer not booting up or something like that?
