Well, I've been wanting to upgrade my system for a while now, since I've started to get into PC gaming. My current system is literally just an out of the box pre-built PC from PC World, it's not very good at all, it's a Packard Bell iMedia 4525.
Processor: AMD Athlon II x3 415e 2.50 GHz
GPU: Integrated
HDD: 1TB
RAM: 3GB DDR3
Yeah, so it's pretty bad I know. Also with it being a Micro-Case it will only be able to take Low-Profile Graphics Cards. This was an issue so I am going to upgrade my entire system.
So here's all of the components for my new computer, these were selected from my knowledge and if there's any changes that you'd make/change then be sure to post them, I'm intrigued to see if I managed to make the best choices.
Processor: AMD FX-8350
Price: £150
Internal Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Price: £65
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz 8GB
Price: £65
Motherboard: AsRock 990FX Extreme3
Price: £80
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB
Price: £50-60
PSU: OCZ OCZ600MXSP-UK ModXStream Pro 600W ATX
Price: £55
Case: CiT Vantage Midi Mesh Gaming Case
Price: £35
All of that comes to around £500, I feel like I got the most of what I could for £500, if you have suggestions to improve my build I'd be more than happy to hear them.
EDIT: Not sure why the full link isn't displaying, trying to fix now.
