I haven't upgraded my PC for a while now and have been offered a bonus through work by buying some or all new parts for my home PC.
This is my current rig.
Silverstone GD01
Seasonic 500W PSU
Intel E8200 2.66
4GB OCZ Gold 6400
Gigabyte 965P DS3
Gainward 8800GTS 640MB
X-Fi sound card - I play games with headphones.
2 X 500GB samsung spin points. I could probably do with swapping one for a 1TB HD.
Only thing is, my rig is on a shelf so needs to be a desktop/HTPC case so I have to take that into account when choosing a graphics card.
Uses for the machine are no more taxing than our small business and internet and gaming obviously.
Any help would be really appreciated - I've been out of the PC building game for a couple of years
Judging by the build guide there doesn't look like very much I can carry over to the new machine.
As for cost - don't know say 1K and work back from there.
