Hello!
Currently my system is:
CPU: AMD 64 3700+
Cooler : Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-K8NS-939
RAM: 1GB 3200 OCZ
Gfx: Leadtek AGP 7600 GT
Case: ThermalTake Tsunami
PSU: 520W Corsair
HDD: 320gb SATA Maxtor
Monitor: 22" IIyama Vision Master Pro 514
My budget for upgrading is around £1000 but a bit flexible. I will use the system mainly for gaming but also watching downloaded TV/Films, would also be interested in streaming live TV to a PC (don't know how easy this is?) and eventually hooking up a PS3.
My current thoughts are:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz
Cooler: Xigmatek HDT-S1283
Mobo: Asus P5Q-E Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX
Gfx: Leadtek GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3
Case : Antec P182 Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU
PSU: Continue to keep my 520W Corsair
HDD: 2x640GB WesternDigital HDDs (WD6400AAKS)
Monitor: Acer G24 Widescreen Gaming LCD Monitor - Orange/Black
A friend of mine said the 8500 RAM is not necessary and 6400 would do just fine, could anyone explain why?. Also unsure about the make of GTX 260 to get, noise being a concern really!
Any input appriciated and if you think its time to upgrade now or hold on a little while.
