Hi everyone,
I recently inherited an HD6770 and was hoping to pair it with a new CPU/Mobo combo. If possible, purchase a motherboard that will have a socket for the next upgraded CPUs if that's possible. Keeping the combo around $250 or lower.
Here are my current specs:
CPU: APU A8-3850
MB: Gigabyte A75M (FM1 Socket)
RAM: Corsair DDR3 1600 4Gx2
SSD: Intel 330 series 128GB
HDD: WD 500GB
PSU: Antec Green 380W
OS: Windows 8
80% is web surfing and streaming
20% is playing games. Nothing too intense.
With luck I could slide the A8/FM1 board into another machine to beat around in...
Is it worth the upgrade or just use the graphics card and override the A8's?
Thanks everyone!
