Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my PC. I'm thinking about going for a AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80 GHz processor with probably an MSI AMD 3 890FXA-GD65 motherboard. 4-8 gigs of DDR3 memory, and (a little bit later down the line) a graphics card capable of full HD video editing - prob an entry level Fire Pro card, although maybe the Radeon 5870.
In terms of the Lian Li V1000 case (which I love) that I have - even though it's 6-7 yrs old, it's an ATX case so shouldn't have a problem with motherboard etc. - what extra cooling do you think I would need - if any - for the above system? Looking at a PSU of around 500W - 700W I would think. The Seasonic S12 II Bronze 520W I can get for about £65, but if I go for a Radeon card I might need a bit more than that...
Ta.
P.S. I have a Plextor PX-712SA (SATA) DVD drive. Will I still be able to use this with the new mother board etc?
