Hi guys, I've been reading this forum for a while for ideas on how best to upgrade my system. I need to replace all the main components. Ideally I want to spend close to £300, but it looks like its going to be nearer £400. Defo not over £400. Used for lots of graphics (Photoshop etc), a bit of gaming, a bit of video editing but mainly just using the net, watching movies and playing music. I have some ideas on what to get, please tell me where I am right or wrong...
MoBo
Asus P5B (Which one? I've head the deluxe is good, but £125 is a bit steep for me)
or Gigabye DS3 (Again, which one?)
Processor
E4300 ~ £90(I haven't OC'd before, but it seems like it would be a good idea with this chip)
Memory
Not too sure, 2Gb might cost too much, can I get away with 1Gb for now?
Graphics
7600GT ~ Apparently £70 (Again, which one, they all look the same other than the price!)
Cooling
No idea
DVD writer
No idea
I already have a wireless card, so don't need that built in. I have an old SB Audigy card, will that be better than on-board sound these days? Will keep my old HDs for a bit, and upgrade when I have more money
Your thoughts are much appreciated. I'm sure all the other people who read these threads, but never post, would like to thank you too. Ian
