I have 2 computers looking to upgrade and needing suggestions. Trying to keep total under $900, pref under $800. Playing mainly MMO's and games like Civ 5. I'd like to stay with AMD CPU's. Never will crossfire or SLI
First system is my main gaming system. Where the real money would be.
Currently have:
Mobo Gigabyte GA-990FXA-D3
CPU AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T
16gb emaxx 1333mhz ram (timings show a little funny maybe... 665.5MHz, 9, 6, 5, 15, 16 on CPU-Z)
AMD Radeon HD 6570 2GB
PSU Razer 500 Watt non rated (prob should replace)
27" LG IPS 1080p Monitor
No SSD (want one)
Case is new and solid.
Second system is my GFs computer. She plays MMO's and simple stuff very casually. Is happy on medium settings.
Mobo Emaxx EMX-A55GT-iCafe
AMD A4-3400
GeForce GT 220 978MB dedicated memory
22" 1080p Monitor
4GB of ram (maybe give her my 16GB of 1333mhz?)
PSU she'll get my old PSU, handles well enough for her needs and budgets tight.
No SSD and no budget for one).
Thinking here maybe CPU and GPU bump? is CPU manageable? Would my old CPU handle better for her and buy a new AM3+ Mobo? I'd be looking at smaller upgrades on hers in months to come after such as a SSD and such possibly.
Any suggestions? Really want to have solid quality and decent performance for both but staying cheaper end.
Thanks!
