Okay, So I’m working on piecing together a new system since the hamster spinning the wheel in my current one is about to drop dead.
For now I’d like to start with the “big three” (CPU, MB, GPU) and then work my way out from there. Hehe
Below are the parts currently on my possibilities list, along with a general cost increase above the cheapest in the list. I’m thinking that I’d like to go for around $200-250 in improvements above the “base” here, but just not exactly sure which to upgrade over the others. So, any recommendations at all would be wonderful. Also, if there is something that I haven’t included that you feel would be better in the CPU/MB/GPU areas, feel free to toss that at me as well.
Thanks
