Hey guys!,
Was just posting for some advice on an upgrade I'm planning on making. First of all I'll list my current spec -
M2N4-SLI Motherboard
580Watt Hiper PSU
AMD 6000+ (3.0ghz) x2
4 GB DDR 667 Memory
Geforce 260 GTX 896mb
Now I'm not planning on a complete make over just yet as I'm not the richest of rich, However I was thinking about upgrading Mobo\CPU\Mem\PSU for future purposes.
I was wondering what everybody recomends within a budget of £380.
So far I've worked out through Overclockers -
**B Grade** Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P AMD 770 (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard [GA-MA770T-UD3P]
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz
OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 Low-Voltage Dual Channel
Hiper HPU-4M670 Type M 670W ATX2.2 PSU - Black
Thats everything I'm looking to purchase comes to around £360. Now I'm not sure what the big deal between AMD and Intel is at the moment and whose top of the range, but it seems that for the high end intel processors I'm gunna have to pay a lot more for everything (Mobo and Ram) so I've decided to stick with AMD.
Also I was wondering what people thought of the PSU? I want one thats pretty future proof and 670watt seems to be a descent out to have for most cards out at the moment.
And FINALLY! I'm currently using a Geforce 260 GTX, is it worth getting an ATI 5850? there reasonably cheap so I might have alook after christmas.
If anybody has any advice I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks guys!
James
