Hi guys Im *kind of* new here.
I was thinking about getting a new hard drive for some time now, so Im thinking I might as well upgrade a couple of other parts too.
I have to admit that I havent done any research and I havent been keeping myself updated, so maybe you guys can help me decide which parts I should look into upgrading so I can get started
I am not planning to replace the motherboard. OS is expensive.
I play games from time to time. I use my PC a lot and Ive been noticing that new programs are becoming more demanding. I use Photoshop for work as well as multi tasking (also running dual monitor).
If you guys can take a look at what I have and give a few suggestions it would be great. Here's my current build:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 940 BE 3.0GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P
Memory: G.Skill 4GB DDR2 1066MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512MB w/ZALMAN VF1000 cooler
HD: Western Digital 320GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache
PSU: Corsair TX 650W
Thank you
