Hello, I've been considering to upgrade my GPU and RAM of my 4 year old rig.
Mainboard: GA-EP35C-DS3R
CPU: E8400
GPU: GTS 250
RAM: 3x1gig twinmos ddr2 667 (lol)
PSU: TG480-U22 (480watt)
HDD: Seagate 250GB 7200 rpm
Now I've been away from hardware scene for a long while, so Im kind of lost.
Lucky me, the mobo has given me some room to maneuver (to upgrade on ddr3's), but since my 580watt psu has given up this summer, I switched to my old 480watt psu.
Now this is a 5 year old psu, but got little mileage (just left to rot - used 1,5 years at most). So my thought was going for GTX550/560TI (not even sure if the psu can handle it) and switching to 2x2 ddr3 1333 ram. I'm probably all wrong, so I'm looking for suggestions.
I plan to play SW:TOR with this rig, if that helps.
