I'm looking to upgrade my current system:
Gigabyte 965P-DS3
E6300 C2D (1.86GHz overclocked to 3.15GHz)
4 x 2GB OCZ 6400
Ati 4770
2 x 500GB, 1 x 1TB, 1 x 160GB Hard Drives
Corsair 520HX
2 x IDE optical drives
Akasa Zen
Windows 7
PCI TV Tuner card
Scythe Ninja rev. B cooler
If I were to buy a new Core 2 Duo/Quad, I would need a newer motherboard. At that point, I may as well spend the money on something newer like i5.
I want to keep the lower half of the specs above and replace the top three. Before I plonk the cash on it all, I would like some reassurance on my choices. I'm thinking around about £300 for CPU, Motherboard, and RAM.
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 @ £98
i5 750 @ £151
Corsair TW3X4G1333C9A - 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-10666 9-9-9-24 @ £80
Which makes about £330. Is there anything you would change? Can I use my HX520 PSU with it all?
I assume 1156 uses a different cooler mounting system to 775, so I would need to buy replacement clips for the Ninja?
Thanks for any help.
