Hello guys,
it has been a while since my last system update update, which was last year (HD5850 + SSD + new PSU).
I have planned to upgrade my system again this summer while waiting untill the Bulldozer (If I can still remember it correctly) can be reviéwed and compared to Sandybridge...but...Bulldozer is still way from the market...
Now, I plan to update my system components (proc+fan, mobo and ram) the rest will be kept as they are at the moment.
I am also thinking of selling my HD5850 since I do not have enough time to play games anymore...but still unsure of throwing away this card yet...I was thinking if I do not play games and use the internal Sandy bridge GPU, I can save lots of power consume.
I need your advices choosing the needed components.
1. Proc options i7 2600 or 2600K (no OC, possible use of included GPU)
2. Cheap but better than stock fan
3. Mobo P67 or Z68 (ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI..not planning for multiple GPU system)
4. A good and cheap 8GB RAM (2x4)
I have also to replace my keyboard+mouse since it is now already half broken...but this I can choose by myself...
Thank you very much for your advices and have a nice day
