Upgrade Options

[jake000]

Hello all,

I currently have the following spec:

E5200
5450 1Gb Graphics
4GB PC6400 Ram
Western Digital AAKS 500Gb Boot Drive

I was thinking to upgrade to an i5 2500K with 8Gb ram but was wondering if it would be better to spend the money elsewhere?

I use my PC mainly to watch movies in HD on my TV and I have a budget of around £300. I don't mind buying second hand parts from the MM.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the reply

It's partly due to random playback issues such as going out of sync and when paused and resuming it can be jumpy, so I have to restart what im watching. I've tried updating software but it didn't help.

It's also because I haven't upgraded for a long time and I have the money and this upgrade will last me a while.
