Hi, I am thinking about upgrading my components in my computer. I want to upgrade to the following:
ramage IV motherboard
i7 3730
12-16g RAM around the 1866Mhz or even the 2000Mhz type
Im not made of money so I thought i would not get the highest CPU and rather spend more on faster RAM and good motherboard (since my PSU and GPU are good enough as they are, as you will see below)
I currently have:
an older gigabyte motherboard (unsure what type, does not support xfire/SLI)
i have an i7 but its 3 years old (not sure which one)
6g RAM 1333Mhz i think
1000W PSU
ATI 7959 3G GPU
in a Antec 1200 case.
so my GPU and PSU and tower are good. But the rest are lagging behind.
If I get these upgrades do I have to get a new hard drive also? and will it all plug straight in (so to speak) or is it a bit more complicated than that.. (im more than likely going to get a shop to build it and ill buy the parts from the net)
Any good advice would be awesome (btw im only running single screen 24' )
