Hello everyone, first post on these forums.
Ok I’m looking to upgrade my pc. I use my PC for everything watching movies and TV, surfing internet, downloading media, playing games, other basic tasks such as word processing etc... I also wish to use the PC as a devolopers environment so will need resources to run multiple virtual computers using Vmware and resource intensive IDE's. I have a budget of about £230.
Current Specs:
2.66 Ghz Pentium 4 CPU Socket 478
512 MB DDR Ram, 2x 256 MB
Nvidia Geforce Mx 420 AGP
Nvidia Geforce Fx 5500 PCI
MSI MS6701 MOBO
250 GB IDE HDD
70 GB IDE HDD
250 GB USB HDD
350 Watt PSU
ATX Case
I wish to upgrade to
2.66 Ghz Pentium 4 CPU Socket 478
2 GB DDR 3200 Ram 2x 1Gb Crucial
Already ordered the ram £70
Nvidia Geforce 8600GTS 256MB GDDR3 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...vd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldm lld3M=&product_uid=127275 £125
ASRock P4VM890 Socket 478 MOBO

250 GB USB HDD
350 Watt PSU

What do you guys think any recommendations, changes?
I’ve done a great deal of research and am 80% certain that these components will be compatible. (Please correct me if I’m wrong).
Later on in the year, possibly after Christmas, I will use the old components to build an additional PC, although I will need to buy a new case, PSU and Socket 478 processor.
