hi everyone. I'm new to forum so this is my first post really apart of the welcome thread.
My specs:
q9300 2.5GHz 6Mb cache
mobo Ga-q35m-s2
2 x1GB ddr2 ram pny 800MHz
asus radeon 4890
arctic freezer on cpu
coolermaster haf 922 case
psu corsair 550W
I also have spare 2x 2GB ddr3 ram corsair xms3 1600MHz a gift from my mate.
Because my pc is getting quite old now I started thinking about upgrades. But I don't have £260 for i5 2500k and a mobo. I need to choose a a cheap path at the moment. Any ideas guys what to do to improve performance for under £100?
new mobo could make a big difference and allow me to overclock over 3Ghz but than I would probably need a faster ram on ddr2 or buy a mobo that supports ddr3 and use corsair. but than what mobo and on what chipset?
thanks fro help.
