Hey guys, I'm thinking about upgrading from my 6 year old Lynchfield i5 / HD5650 PC that has served me oh so well for over half a decade now. The main reason is I want something more silent, more powerful, smaller, and more streamlined. I don't need Ultra 8xAA, and only want to spend 500 to 600 dollars or so. I also am going to probably re-use my ram and hard drive for now. I don't plan on overclocking so stock cooler that comes with CPU will be used most likely unless I can find a more silent one cheap
The purpose is to do decent gaming now, and if I get some more money next year, upgrade the graphics card to something with more oomph then.
Here is what I have so far:
Case: Fractal Design Define Mini MicroATX
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card
For the motherboard, I want something compatible with the USB 3.0 on the front of the case, has 4 slots for ram, will let me expand a pci card slot or two if I want. I don't need many bells and whistles so hoping to keep the price under 100 dollars (really 80 if I can). Also onboard bluetooth would be really nice too. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!
