Hey,
I'm looking for new parts to upgrade my computer. I intend to play new video games at 1080p with good fps (around 50-60) These are the parts I've looked into:
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-78LMT AM3+
Cpu- AMD FX 4300
Gpu - AMD Radeon HD 7850
Ram - Corsair 8GB
Power source - Corsair CX Series 500Watt
Cpu cooler - CoolerMaster HyperTX 3 Evo
I'm not looking for any more expensive parts because my budget is a bit tight, but if you have any suggestions for different/better parts that are the same price, feel free to comment
I'm planning to use the 1000gb harddrive from my current computer as well as the case (medium size tower) and the dvd-player.
My current computer uses a AM2 motherboard, so will the DVD player and harddrive work with AM3+?
I have Windows Vista and I was wondering how it effects performance with new titles like Battlefield 4. Would Windows 7 or 8 increase FPS and by how much? I know Vista isn't the greatest, but I personally haven't had trouble with it and if it doesn't really slow down games it shouldn't be a problem.
Is there anything else I should keep in mind with upgrading my computer?
Also how much room is there to overclock with 500w power source?
