I am trying to upgrade and "show off" my setup. I am just all that sure on the hardware side of the world. I am much more of a software person. Anyone here is what I have. I shall try to give links to everything and share what information I can or think you might want.
My machine is used for gaming and creation of websites photos movies.
I started with the Asus M51BC (from bestbuy) (http://www.asus.com/us/Desktops/M51BC/)
AMD® AM3+ Processor (Device Manager says AMD FX(tm)-8300 Eight-Core Processor 3.3Ghz)
Chipset AMD 970
12gbs RAM DDR3 1600s (unsure of what brand they just what came inside it)
At the time of Purcasing the M51BC I upgraded to:
GEFORCE GTX 770 (http://www.nvidia.com/gtx-700-graphics-cards/gtx-770/)
Thermaltake SMART M850W (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Power_Supply/Smart_Series_/Smart/C_00001972/SMART_M850W_US_/Design.htm)
That is all the infomation I think that I necessary of what I have but I can give more if needed.
WHAT I am looking at
I want a full tower case or super tower case
The options I have narrowed it down to are
Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147157)
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119213&cm_re=coolermaster_haf_932_advanced-_-11-119-213-_-Product)
Antec Twelve Hundred V3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28N3956&cm_re=twelve_hunderd_v3-_-11-129-100-_-Product)
I want a black and blue theme inside and outside and I also want quality items, But unsure what GOOD quality really is I want to buy the case and use it for at least a decade. I understand the Blackhawk has red led fans but I can change those out I do like what it has I just hope it is good.
~~~~~~
BIG ISSUE: I need to know if I need to upgrade anything prior to the case swamp psu or other items. I just don't know I have only read that there could be an issue with the OEM case and the proprietary build parts. Unsure how truthful but it seems to be addressed so I don't shot my self in the foot.
~~~~~~
In terms of mobo and things I just need the ability for simple things Wireless net USB 3.0's
I am hoping to keep this computer functions for business school and gaming it is my only one but any advice on things would be great.
Sorry for the huge thread I hope it is in the right spot here move it if it isn't
Thank you in advance.
