I built this computer a while ago. I installed/played the new one, but needed to overclock my graphics card (5770) to do so. Since then it has been crashing at least that is what I think is the cause. It gives me the error 0x0000003b. I uninstalled the driver and the overclocked speed, but that crashes are still happening. I figured if I'm going to replace the card I might as well try to upgrade this computer to be the best it can be but would consider a complete new build. Not sure, but unless someone has a way of fixing the error this is what I need to do.
Current PC
Win 7 64 Bit
OCZ Power Supply 700W
Saphire HD 5770
Phenom II x4 955
Seagate Barracude 500GB 7200
ASRock 770 Extreme3
Access to 16GB of kingston DDR3 RAM but only using in 2 slots currently
3GB internal from westgate (i think)
Looking to replace the HD with a solid state and the video card. I'm just wondering if I will bottleneck anything or if I need a serious upgrade in everything and perhaps have to make a new computer. Any / all advice would be appreciated. Also the things I'm not really sure about if the processor is good/good enough, if the motherboard will take a solid state drive and how far I can go with a graphics card.
Money really isn't an issue it wouldn't be the worst to make a totally new system, but I would prefer to play conservative for now and rebuild when I HAVE to instead of just because I can.
