I'm planning on upgrading my desktop since I've just purchased a laptop that somehow runs better than it! The rig is about three years old and now I'm going to fix it up since I don't want it just sitting around. All I need to know is if the parts I've chosen will work together and everything! I'm at the point where I'm sure I could figure out installing the parts into the case, but I don't know much about specific details.
Current Mobo: Asus M4N68T-M-V2 ( http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4N68TM_V2/ )
New Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514 )
Current GPU: Nvidia GTS 450
New: HIS Radeon 7850 2 GB ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161406 )
Current RAM: Unsure. Corsair (2 x 2 GB), although it shouldn't matter if I'm replacing basically everything.
New RAM: Ripjaw (2 x 4 GB) ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314 )
Current CPU: Phenom II X4 955 (3.2 Ghz)
New CPU: AMD FX-6300 Vishera (3.5 GHz) ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 )
I'd just like to know if my computer will run fairly well if I connect all of these parts correctly, clean out my case, and repair install Windows 7 so that it recognizes the new parts.
This is the first time I'll have ever opened up a computer to work on it, so I need some expert help on this one. Thanks.
