Sorry mods....wrong section, please could someone move?
Well our now 4 year old PC has been stuttering for a month or two and finally gave up the ghost last night.
I've decided its time to upgrade, although its going to be more like a new build.
Im a little out of touch as to what I should be looking for, but know I want to go for a Raptor 150Gb drive for the system.... always regret not getting a 10k drive last time!
Other than that I was thinking around £50 for memory, £100 graphics, £100 CPU and £100 motherboard.
Graphics wise I want to be able to run newish games at a fairly decent res, so I was thinking maybe;
Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Card 512MB DDR5, which is probably going to stretch my budget
CPU I was thinking;
AMD PHENOM X3 PROCESSOR 8650 - 2.3GHZ - TRIPLE CORE CPU
Motherboard;
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H
Memory
Corsair 4GB 2 x 2GB PC6400 800Mhz DDR2
Would you guys be able to advise if this looks ok to you? Or if you would suggest any alternatives?
