The MOBO in my old computer is failing so its time to upgrade. I would like to use what parts I can from the old system to keep the costs down.
Parts I have: That I want to reuse
OCZ 650W modular power supply(1 yr old)
HIS 7850 GPU(1 yr old)
WD Black 1TB(Brand new)
DVD Burner(came with the prebuilt hp computer p6214... uses sata of some sort)
What I need:
New case with lots of fans for airflow
MOBO
CPU
RAM
Will I need anything else? !!Noob Alert!! This is my first time doing anything like this so if I need anything else at all please let me know.
Like I said I was leaning towards the 6300 cpu just to keep the cost down I shouldn't really see any increase in performance for gaming between it and the 83xx series correct?
I have a flexible price range I want to keep it cheap but ultimately I want it to last me 5 years without having to upgrade it. So if I need to spend a little more and get the better cpu or whatever I would be comfortable with that. Let me know what I would need to achieve this.
I dont know anything about ram and mobos so if you could figure out ram speeds and compatible mobos that would be great. Also would I need an after market cpu cooler or will thestock one be fine? I dont know how to overclock yet but I might want do it down the road as the cpu begins to become obsolete to keep it relevant.
Uses... Gaming, homework, and that's about it. Might want to use it to play games on the big 60" tv once in a while. I dont know if that makes a difference.
Thanks guys
