Hi Guys,
I want to upgrade my pc. My current pc's spects are :
- Intel Core 2 Duo 3GHZ
- Gigabyte MB
- 4 GB RAM
- 1 TB HDD
- NVidia Geforce GTX 275
- Win 7
Now what I would like to change is my processor, motheboard and hard drive. On the HDD front I am going for a 2TB one. But I need help on the processor & motherboard front.
Primary usage: Gaming and bit of application development
My choice of processor: Intel core i5. Should be enough for me. How about sandy bridge i5 2500. ?
On the motherboard front I am blank. If I am getting a good processor I might as well get a poweful motherboard which compliments it. (around $120). What do you guys recommend? Because I have a graphics & sound card which I will install on motherboard, its not important that motherboard ships with onboard features on graphics/sound front. It it does its fine.
Will be glad if anyone can advice me.
I heard motherboards of companies like gigabyte are better than intel's stock board. Is this true?
Cheers,
Jack
