After spending some time reading these forums and articles on this website I decided to upgrade my CPU, Mobo, GPU, and RAM. I have only a "basic" understanding when it comes to building a computer so I'm hoping some of you guys may help. I decided on the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 cpu, Gigabyte GA-X48 Mobo, and EVGA 640 8800GTS video card. My questions:
Will my Antec 550W PSU (2 years old) be adequate?
I will need to upgrade my RAM too it seems, any recommendations?
Will this be a decent gaming computer for the next few years?
Any other suggestions on what I may need to upgrade? I'm hoping to keep my current hard drive (only 2 years old) and windows xp.
I know that there are answers to most of my questions throughout the forum, but I'm concerned with compatibility so hoping if you see all the components I have I can get a more specific recommendation. Thanks
