Hey everyone,
my old MB is going down and I guess I have to do at least a partial system-upgrade.
I'm planning on spending 400 Euro max for a CPU, MB and fitting RAM. The rest of the system will be reused.
SO here we go:
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: as soon as possible and before my system completely fries
BUDGET RANGE: ca. 400€ (about 500$ ???), no rebates (there is no such thing here in Germany, as far as I know)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: gaming, watching movies, surfing the internet, work
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: PSU (450W be quiet! BQT-E5-450W), GPU (MSI R4870-MD1G), monitor (Samsung 2443FW), HDD (1x Samsung HD252KJ, 1x Samsung HD502HJ), keyboard, mouse, speakers, OS (Win7 64-bit), probably my old PCI(!)-TVcard, but that is no must have
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I would like to stay in Germany for ordering items, my favourite internet-stores are
Home of Hardware www.hoh.de
Winner Computer www.winnercomputer.de
MandM Computer www.mmcomputer.de
Cyberport www.cyberport.de
(sorry, no english versions available :-(
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Germany
PARTS PREFERENCES: I would like to use an Intel-CPU (i3, i5?), Gigabyte was recommended to me as MB-manufacturer
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1200
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: A quiet PC would be nice, but I guess the included CPU-fan will be fine for the beginning.
I'm not sure about the CPU though, an i3 seems fine but will it be enough for the next 2 to 4 years, e.g. if I'm buying a new GPU?
The mainboard should provide enough opportunities for upgrades in the next 2 to 4 years (better GPU, other CPU, more RAM, other/more HDDs, maybe a blueraydrive).
It's completely okay if you could recommend me the parts through www.newegg.com , I will convert the prices into € and will check the items in "my" stores.
Thank you in advance for your help!
