Whats up guys, I'm back and looking on some input before i go ahead and do this upgrade.
This is my current setup:
PSU: 300Watt
CPU: AMD A8 6500 Quad core processor @3.50Ghz
RAM: 14GB of DDR3.. of the 4 slots available three are being used, one 8GB, one 4GB and one 2GB.
GPU: Radeon 8570D HD + 8470D Dual Graphics (I think the 8470 is removable and the other in the APU.)
Motherboard: ?? I do not know how to check this
OS: Windows 8.1
This is what im planning on doing:
PSU: 500Watt - Maybe EVGA 500
CPU: Intel Pentium G3420 3.2GHz
RAM: Take the ram from my current system.
GPU: - I dont know. probably a card in the R9 290 series or there abouts.
Motherboard: Asus H81M-D PLUS Micro ATX LGA1150
What i want from you guys is there anything i can do better for around £200-£250 what with using or selling what i have. not needing to pay for ram etc.
Also if there are any better options for cpu motherboard etc i may have missed and how the hell do you find out what your installed motherboard is
Thanks guys!
EDIT - Should probably mention its for building a gaming/video editing computer. Mainly gaming
