Hey there.
Built myself a PC about 18 months ago, and i'm now looking to upgrade it for around £100-£150. I know money is tight, but have been out of the scene for a while so not sure where to proceed! Any suggestions?
Current spec:
Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H 785G Socket AM3
ATI HD 5750 512mb GDDR5
G.Skill Ripjaw 4gb (2x2gb) DDR3 PC-10666C8 1333mhz Dual Channel
OCZ Stealth Xstream II 500W PSU - 3x SATA 1x PCI-E
AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2GHz Socket AM3 6MB
My main concern is my power supply. I rather stupidly did not do my research properly and tried to save money by ordering the 500W version. However, when it arrived, I discovered that it only has a 4-pin CPU connector as opposed to an 8-pin. It also only have one 6-pin PCI-E connector.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
