Re: Computer upgrade advice
Your cpu looks okay to me, why do you want to change it? Choosing a case is a personal issue imho choose whichever takes your fancy.
Re: Computer upgrade advice
I want to upgrade my rig again, when I first got it I had it running at 3 - 3.2Ghz nicely untill I noticed the temps where a bit high, since then I set the system back to stock speeds. I thought if I upgrade to E7300 it will generate less heat and may overclock a better than the E6400.
I might just end up upgrading the case though.
Re: Computer upgrade advice
yeah upgrade case only then over clock. the antec 900 is a really good case wit decednt airflow its considered a gamers case IMO. the 300 os more a consumers choice..
Re: Computer upgrade advice
What CPU cooler are you using?? It maybe worth investing in a better one if your temperatures are too high!! If you are a gamer I would put the rest of the remaining money after you get a new case on some more RAM and a better graphics card in the near future.
