My computer won't Post (Do get 1 long and 3 short beeps) - a cheap graphics card from Microcenter didn't fix the problem so I have decided it's time to upgrade and since I now don't have a desktop, upgrade immediately.
I have a rough build but its more than what I want to spend. My friend who helped last time is out of the country. I'm trying to stay $400 or under.
Probably No Overclock
Computer is for gaming: Current games playing/ plan on playing - Star Citizen, Warframe, Planetside 2, Other MMO's and Total War Game Series - Looking for something for now and will last into future - PS2 is painful and Total War takes forever to load
My Current System:
Case: XBlade
Mobo: Asus P5N-D
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 560 TI
Memory: 4 x 2 GB DDR 2 Ram
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad q6600
Carrying Over:
Case: XBlade
Power Supply: Corsair TX 850 - If you want to know why it's so big, last one blew when I upgraded. Got a great deal on it
500 GB Hard Drive with Windows 7
Dying Hard Drive with Windows XP (Need to off load everything on it)
Excluded from my budget but am taking suggestions on:
Harddrive ~$45.00 - Sandisk Solid State Drive 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Optics: ~ $20.00 Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer - My current one hasn't worked for months
I've allocated $400 max for the following items - Need suggestion or recommendations:
Mobo: ~ $80MSI Z97 PC Mate LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Processor: ~ $160.00 Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
Graphics Card: ~ $180 Radeon R9 280 3GB
Memory: ~ $40.00 Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
I'm currently a little over budget. Will this setup work for the next several years? Any other recommendations/combination for graphics and processor and motherboard? I'm asuming I won't do much better on memory.
All help is appreciated.
Thank you.
