What should I do

[TobiasVdb]

Dear experts ,

I've got a home computer with a D81073-209 Intel motherboard, quad core (although I'm not sure how much core speed) processor and I'm thinking of upgrading.

At the moment it has a Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT installed, but I was thinking of replacing it with the ASUS GTX660-DC2-2GD5, and at the same time installing an SSD (samsung 840 pro 128Gb) for performance (& noise). Do you guys think this is wise? Or should I toss this pc and start with a new motherboard and go from there?

Thanks for the advice!
Tobias

NO, that PC is old 775 tech... and your PSU is weak..
