Re: upgrading advice needed
PSU without question if that EzCool is what you are running.
Gaming at that resolution do you actually have any problems? You have a nice setup as it is.
If you want a new graphics card the HD4870 or Nvidia 260GTX is a good way to go but only really for high resolutions (1920 x 1200+). Maybe an HD4850 but that's not really a huge improvement on what you have.
Re: upgrading advice needed
yes i was thinking about changing the psu ,but am unsure which psu to get as that money i have seperate . is it worth changing the rest of the system cause atm i cannot get decent fps with aa turned on (it halfs my fps in any game) , i like the eye candy in newer games but i get jaggy edges :(
Re: upgrading advice needed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Agree with totaly .
I would also have to say the PSU also.
Re: upgrading advice needed
it would not increase the performance of my system though would it ? , i also have a problem where my gfx card moves on the back end so twice a week i have to reseat it. i think this case is a little twisted for some unknown reason , it is the only thing i can put it down to :(
Re: upgrading advice needed
No but it will stop it blowing up lol
You have a nice system. 3.0GHz dual core is plenty for gaming so change the GPU if you want all the eye candy :)
Re: upgrading advice needed
You should be able to squeeze in a hd4850 and a decent PSU with £170.

what wattage psu would i need at a min ? , my x2 6000 is the 125w version
Re: upgrading advice needed
You'll be fine with around 500W decent watts.
Something like the Corsair 650W TX would be good if you are nervous though.
Re: upgrading advice needed
are these power supplies anygood ?
Re: upgrading advice needed
They're OK yeah. I'd personally stick to corsair (seasonic), enermax maybe FSP/OCZ but there isn't anything wrong with the coolermaster.

Re: upgrading advice needed
you should look at upgrading PSU, sell your old bits here or an auction site put the money towards the upgrade
Re: upgrading advice needed
I never had any problems with the Hiper 580 PSU

Don't let the door hit you on the way out..
Only kidding around but not many people are particularly fond of hiper around here.
Re: upgrading advice needed
i had a hiper type r 580w , it blew my last system .
i have just seen a 3870x2 going for the right money , is it worth me getting that and running it with my 3870 in crossfireX ? . or just get the 4850 (my spare crossfire mobo runs one card @ x16 or 2 x 8 , but thats an asrock mobo)
