Well its an okay build, are you just using this for browsing and normal everyday tasks? For modern gaming, it needs a complete makeover in order to play games with decent FPS. Your build should have no problem playing older games (2007 and below is my guess). How much are you buying your new CPU for? Maybe I could find you a better one for the same amount of money.

What exactly are we talking about, you want a complete makeover or make changes to make your existing build better? Either way upgrading an old system like yours is a bit expensive, especially DDR2 memory. I think you are due for an upgrade if you want to play modern games. That includes changing your video card, CPU, and RAM.

Hmm, I'm having a bit of trouble locating CPUs for LGA 775 that are still available. Sure you don't want to make the jump to a new motherboard? I can still keep it in your budget.

here you go, u will have an i3 which is plenty for gaming (i wouldn't recommend extreme gaming but this is still plenty) a 7850 which is also a good card, this is also assuming you have a hard drive, which im sure you do have a sata hard drive considering you have a conroe cpu right now, and a sata optical drive, 8 gigs of ram, and 620 watt modular psu which will allow for upgrading to a more extreme gpu in the future plus a stronger cpu or crossfire and such. at this point in time you would be stupid to stay with a 775 motherboard, at most you could get a core 2 quad but the price would be ridiculously high for when you can match that at the same price with newer technology

okay do you just want the computer parts listed out and not the links? I will make it below 700 usd. Should be lower in your currency I hope...

Edit: wow thats a real good build up there, maybe you could use a bit more money for the CPU. Either way that's a good build for you. You still want me to make one for you?

sorry about this but can you tell me the final price in euros


The build he listed up there should be 498 euros. I would advise upgrading a bit more if you want to, but by all means that build he listed is way better than your current one. You will be satisfied with it. In addition, you could use the stock cooler if you are not overclocking to save money.

hehe, funny thing is we have almost the same builds, I chose the non-k edition of the 3570, and Antec 520 watt power supply while you chose seasonic and we both have the same video cards, you chose XFX and I chose Asus.

Honestly I created my account in the summer to ask a question. Then comes October 15 and then I suddenly feel the urge to help people out and then I went on a forum rampage. I became a veteran in 16 days pretty much. I ended up with #2 on the CPU & components list of experts. I still am #2 and if you do see my profile my monthly ranking for October was 25 out 950,000 or something like that. It's not too hard to become a veteran, just try and write long answers (paragraphs) to support your claim and you usually get best answer. Make sure your claim is correct though :lol:  , there is also the really long way to become veteran or just get higher rankings is to answer a lot on the threads, you get around 4 points. Back to the main question, I usually answered questions not too much discussions. This thread is a discussion so its generally longer than questions.


speaking of that the starter of this thread should vote me best answer :D  but yea i remember not to long ago i went on a short rampage and it was me and 2 other experts i think that were tearing up the forum under systems hahahah, but yea i think this thread shouyld be under systems not cpu

Hate to break it to you friend but discussions don't have best answers. But either way I say you earned the best answer as you were the one who took the time to build the computer on that pc part list website and I just edited yours since I was lazy :lol: 

but yeah, im building a system like that soon
i5 3570k(i just think its a nice thing to have, it may increase the life of the cpu later down the road when 4 threads is a minimum for games, which that could be a while lol)
7870 most likely xfx double D
1tb samsung spinpoint
8 gigs of ram
hyper 212 evo, you can snatch one for 26 bucks on ncix.com so its not much of a loss :D 
antec three hundred two, and specifically the two (its like the pros of the antec gaming one case and the 300 combined into one awesome super budget case)
my build is also going to consist of the extreme 4, not the three.
the seasonic 620 modular psu

Well then if the prices are the same in your country for a 3570 and a 3570k then go for the 3570k. You may have a change of heart or if you sell your build the CPU would increase the value more. If there is a significant price difference well you know to choose the normal edition.

lazy bum :p  lol but yeah, on another note http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXgnIP4rMoI

and if you didnt get enough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BubFvh1mt9U&feature=rela...


Hahah, poor girl. Anyways think we have strayed far far away from the thread topic. Think we should stop here, anyways nice talking to you, hope we meet again on another thread. Also just to let you know, you made more than enough points equal to 2 best answers. I am sure you've got something around 20 posts on this thread which is equivalent to 80 points.

i think over here in US its no more then a 20 dollar difference over all their difference models

Not bad, love the choice of a modular Power supply! Though you could save a bit of money by buying Antec, XFX, or Corsair for modular power supplies, they perform just as good as seasonic.
