Hi i come from the Land Down Under, im here to seek some help to build a new PC.


Currently im running

Win 7 32bit
q6600 quad @ 2.4ghz
6GB of DDR2 ram 3.5gb available
some crappy gigabyte mobo
a brand new ATI 6870 1GB GPU
Benq 22" lcd
750W psu
Antec case


My main means is gaming, i play BF3 now, but i know i need an upgrade, you dont need to link me to sites for parts, as ill be buying from companys on ebay, i dont want the most expensive stuff as im not very well off for cash right now, will be brought over the next few months part by part.

Want to upgrade the lot, except the LCD, GPU my brother also has a copy of Win 7 64bit aswell.


So if you can reccomend parts, or multiable options, maybe with some info on them id greatly appreciate it.

Ram, you can try and find some G.Skill 8GB 1600Mhz Ram, or Corsair Vengeance.
Power supply, whats the brand of your current one?
If you want a new case, and have the 'budget', 650D.
Motherboard, you can maybe get a Z68 Chipboard, UD3/UD4, or ASUS LX.
CPU, will obviously be no other than the i5-2500K. AMD is a nono.

Budget isnt like 'tight' i can go maybe.

$150 for case, $280 for CPU, $140 for RAM, $220 for MOBO.

$ in AUD, which is more than US now :D, i will be buying them seperatley, and the CPU is an intel, would never buy an AMD CPU, but i preffer the AMD/ATI video cards over nvidia.

Current power supply is Antec True Power
