Hello,
I'm buying some upgrades for my PC on Sunday from the computer markets. Main upgrades are new CPU, new Motherboard and new RAM. If enough money is left over, a new case and PSU.
My current system specs:
AMD Anthlon X2 4800 2.5gHz
Kingston DDR2 800mHz Ram 2GB
Nvidia Geforce 9600gt 1gb GDDR3
MSI K9AGM2 Motherboard
Widetech 550Watt Supersilent PSU
-----------
I have 650 dollars, I have 2 CPU's i'm tossing between, 3 motherboards, and still undecided on RAM. It depends what the computer market stalls have available also however they are usually up to date with their goods and cheaper then online prices.
I need some opinions on the parts below:
CPU : AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3.2gHz Black Edition or AMD Phenom II x4 970 3.5gHZ Black Edition?
Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-M or M4A88T-M or M4A89TD PRO?
RAM: Kingston / GSKILL / Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz 4GB? (Maybe 6GB if I can get a deal)
I also have concerns that my PSU will need upgrading, the old 550watt may be too weak, tempted to get a better known brand one. Suggestions?
I'll be getting a new case as well. Other things like 1TB HDD to replace the 250GB one, or new GFX card can be bought later on.
Thanks to anyone who can help out. This is the first PC built myself, I know how to build it, but have never bought the parts and attempted it myself, excited XD
