I'm gonna be upgrading my computer in the next week. I'm planning on ordering most of it from this site because it's so damn cheap, so I'm trying to be as cautious as possible to save the whole experience of "NO SWEARING _ READ THE FAQ doesn't fit!" kinda thing.
I'd say I have a pretty good knowledge of computers, I can build it myself. From what I've read about the upgrades I'd like, everything seems to be compatible. Sockets etc.
I basically just want to be steered in the right direction on what I should and shouldn't get. So, opinions on price, performance. Things like that.
At the moment I have this stuff on my list;
CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 X2, 4200+ 2.20ghz
Socket AM2
Recommended Memory CFG's:
DDR2-667 or 800 (PC2-5300 or PC2-6400)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA_M51GM-S2G
Micro ATX (I have a mid tower and don't want to buy a full size case)
Socket AM2
PCI-Express
DDR2
Full Specification
RAM:
Corsair 2gb DDR2 XMS2-5400c4
TwinX
(2x1gb)
Full Specification
GPU:
Connect3D ATi Radeon X1900 XT
512mb
GDDR3 | Avivo | TV-Out / Dual DVI
PCI-Express
Full Specification
These things are all available from OcUK. Thanks.
