Hi,
I have quite an old set-up -
CPU: AMD Athlon (Thunderbird) 1.4GHz,
Cooler: Zalman Flower cooler,
Mobo: Asus A7V133,
RAM: 512MB
HDD: 80Gb Seagate IDE,
Optical: Pioneer DVR-112,
PSU: Corsair HX620,
Case: Coolermaster Aluminium Midi tower Case,
GPU: Asus V7100GPU (nVidia)
Wanted to get an extra hard disk as a back-up and realsied mst as SATA these days ( not supportd by my Mobo). So if I got this would have to get a SATA PCI controller card as well.
Main use of the computer is MS office applications, games my daughter plays (she's 6) and surfing. Must be very quiet or near silent
Was thinking of just upgrading the whole shebang to something like:
CPU: E8700
Cooler: Need something very quiet so perhaps XigmatekHDT-S1283 Mobo: don't know
Mobo: any suggestions??
Memomry: 4Gbof OCZ ro simialr
GPU: ob- board?
Sound: on board
Network: 10/100/1000 automatic /on board
PSU: Keep the Corsair HX650
Cas: keep the Coolermaster aluminium jobbie
HDD: Wats the flavour of the month - seems to be Samsumng F! ( 1 terabyte or neer enough)
Any idea of optical drive, and what CPU/Mobo to get? Don't want to spend a hugh amount as am currently unemployed. ANy help on part suggested abouve gratefully received.
