Greeting first of all, and I thank those of you ahead of time for answering any questions I may have.
I am not a complete and total noob when it comes to building pc's, I have built my wife and I's pc's in 2008 and I believe it is time to upgrade.
First, we will be reusing our current mid tower cases and power supplies(both are Antec 500w) our HD's and our video cards, both of which are 1gb HIS Radeon 4670's.
We want the best possible bang for our buck, and would love to stay with a budget of $500 between the 2 upgrades.If it exceeds the budget I should be able to work around it a bit.
Preferably, we would both love to have the PhenomX2 6core, motherboard and ram isn't a huge deal, as long as we can stay within the budget.
We do game, and are currently playing RIFT and awaiting the release of Guild Wars 2, best performance per dollar is what I seek.
I am a little out of the loop as far as newer components go, and would appreciate any and all help you could provide.
