Hi.
Last summer I upgraded my Compaq computer with a 600 Watt OCZ ModXStream and a Radeon HD5770.
I now want more.
I'm looking to get a new case, CPU, and motherboard (possibly new RAM as well) all for around 300$.
This will be my first build. I'm planning on using the current CD/DVD drive in my computer, as well as my HDD and possibly my RAM
What would you suggest?
After looking at TH, I'm thinking about the AMD 445 for the CPU.
For my mobo, I would like Crossfire compatibility at 2x16, for when I decide to upgrade, and USB 3.0. So far, I've found the ASRock 890fx Deluxe 3 or 4, and the MSI 890FXA-GD70. Are there cheaper and better alternatives?
For my case, I have absolutely no ideas. All I want is that it be a mid-tower and quiet.
Thanks for any and all advice.
