Hi I'd like to upgrade one of our computers to an AMD based with a quad core, 8gigs, new mobo. I haven't done an upgrade for 3-4 years so I'm out of the loop. Last time I did one was when the Phenom black editions were out so anything newer then that....no idea.
Anyhow the computer for this particular upgrade is currently running a dual core, DDR2, asus m2n-e ballpark. The video card is a Radeon HD 5450 and we'd like to continue with that to save costs.
Ill just have to double check the PSU as it wasn't stock. I will take a suggestion for wattage though if I need a new one.
The person using this computer just plays steam games like Arma 2, Orange Box and other $10 steam games. Nothing like blackops 2.
This is an Xmas upgrade with a few hundred bucks to spend and my son wanted to spend 60-70 buck for more DDr2 ram but I suggested to add a little to it and get some new guts.
Appreciate suggestions.
