Hey all, I want to upgrade my pc but not sure what to get or if this would be an upgrade at all.
My current specs
Intel Q9550
4 GIG DDR2 Memory I think 800 mhz
4 Hard Drives, all western digital, 7200 RPM HDD 1 tera
Gigabyte mobo
BFG Nvidia GTX 260 Maxcore 55 OC'd edition
750W Ultra X-4 PSU
I want to reuse all the parts except for the ones I'm replacing. I'm upgrading a little at a time. Here are the list of parts I wanted to use to replace them. What i want is for them all to be an upgrade from what I already have.
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
EVGA 01G-P3-1464-KR GeForce GTX 560 SE (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor FD4100WMGUSBX
PNY Optima 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model MD8192KD3-1333
I feel as if they may or may not be an upgrade from my current specs. May I have the public opinion and suggestions to parts you think would help me? I wanted to keep the cost low which is why I chose these parts.
