Hi,
I'm upgrading my old pc on a budget and would like a bit of advice. I'm ordering upgrade parts and wondering if I can keep any of the old parts. I'm not interested in a high spec gaming pc, I only play World of Warcraft (which is really laggy and low fps at the minute) and web browsing/streams/video (which slows down considerably when WoW is playing) so I want something that will work with those and be able to run a few applications without being slow.
Current Specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 2.60Ghz (2 CPU's)
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q-EM
GPU: ATI Radeon 5770
RAM: Corsair XMS2 2 x 2GB (4GB)
HDD: Seagate ST31000333AS 1TB ATA Device
PSU: Coolermaster GX 750W
OS: Windows Vista 64 bit.
I think that the power supply is fine to reuse but I know my bottlenecks are mainly my processor and my graphics card. Also unsure if I need to update the motherboard (compatibility/performance issues with new RAM?) Is my old 1TB HDD ok to wipe and load windows 10 onto it?
Possible new specs:
CPU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009O7YORK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_5&smid=A3VJEKO2PG6I1A
MOBO: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0054U7HIO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_6&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
GPU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ICUGOP0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_4&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
RAM: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004CRSM4I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_3&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
I think I can keep my PSU and possibly my HDD. Any advice is much appreciated.
