Hey Guys!
I'm trying to work out the cheapest way to upgrade my HP desktop computer into a better gaming machine. This is my current setup:
AMD Phenom X4 820
6GB DDR3 10600 RAM ( I think)
750 Watts Antec PSU
Sapphire HD 6870 1GB GPU
Stock HP 750 GB 7200 RPM Harddrive (has all my important files on it, don't want to lose them)
Stock HP Case/Stock HP DVD drive combo
My main parts I'm looking to upgrade are my processor, favoring the i5 Sandy/Ivy Bridge models, the mother board (due to the processor swap), the case, and possibly adding a SSD for Windows, WoW, Diablo 3 and a couple of other games. I was hoping I could ask your help as to so inexpensive options or solutions for this task, and the cheaper the better. I'm not into over-clocking processors at all, but if there is a 10-20 dollar difference between the locked and unlocked version I'd prefer the unlocked version with possible over-clocking potential in the future. I'd like to recycle anything I can, even if that means reusing the HP case as well to save some money! Thanks again for all of your help!
