Ok I have a few questions, hopefully I will not sound to...nubie.
Atm I have a AMD Phenom II X4 B55 Processor (3 core, I unlocked one) and its originally 3 GHZ and I oced it to 3.4 GHZ
I am thinking of going for an Intel I5 ( I am a gamer, I love the total war series and I do love to do multiple things at once, looking forward to Rome 2 Total war).
So with the Intel I5, I know I will need a new motherboard for cross fire and SCL? or...something along those lines...wondering what the best motherboard would be to get for an Intel I5, I think my current motherboard wont work. (Would hope its not TO expensive).
2. For my RAM, it has to be EXACTLY the same sticks in order to upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB right? (I am pretty sure its a yeah, just want a confirmation)
.3. Any nice, not to expensive, towers in mind? Mine currently has a pretty nice size fan in the front, and in the back, and 2 small ones on the side.
Any feed back, any URLs or anything would be appreciated.
My PC specs are the following:
Nivdia 580 (Expensive lol)
4 GB DDR3 RAM
AMD Phenom II x4 Processor B55
Windows 7
64 Bit
RAM: 4 FB
