Hello all,
Thanks for taking the time to read my thread, I build this terrible thing about 3/4 years ago when I started university she's had a few new parts over the years (I emphasize few) and its time to throw 100 English sterling at it just for a small upgrade to tide me over until I can just build a whole new rig.
Current specs (not even really specs, it reads like an obituary of pc parts)
PSU: 350w Jeantek
Mobo: Asus M2N-MX SE
RAM: 2x crucial ddr2 1gb sticks ( 6400 or 8500 I believe) 1x random gb stick (currently I'm pretty sure one of my DIMM slots has bit the dust as cpu-z only reports 1gb ram, system too.)
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4600+
HD: 250gb random hd.
GFX: Radeon 1950x GT
The question: If you were having a nightmare and your rig deteriorated into this one, if you had 100 GBP which of the equally terrible components would you chose to upgrade?
Stores I can/will use: Dabs / ebuyer / microdirect.co.uk / overclockers Prefer uk based, but can handle ones stationed in europe
When: Next few days I will make my order.
What's it for? Playing games on steam (particularly mount and blade warband / DoW 2 / CoD) and general surfing, emphasis on playing the games.
I sincerely appreciate any advice, especially considering your taking some time out your day to search around for me.
I've been out of the tech loop for 4 years while away at university, so I don't know what gets the best performance for the pound.
All the best,
Ben
