Hi,
So I am thinking about upgrading my CPU and RAM on my current system.
CPU I'm considering:AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103851
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series(2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
My Current Setup:
Enermax EG475P-VE 470W power supply
Athlon x2 240 @2.8ghz
ASRock N68C-S UCC
4gb DDR2 1066 Ram (2 sticks)
EVGA GTX560
My concerns are compatibility, total power needed(for my PSU), and whether it even makes sense to upgrade these parts (rather then upgrading the MB etc)
I did some checking on my power consumption online - which shows that I am probably OK with my PSU - it has worked like a champ for the past 7-8 years. Which brings in the question of aging. I am not sure what to expect given the age of my PSU.
Thanks for any and all help!
