I built a PC about four years ago. In fact, you can see all the details about the finished build in this Hexus thread. It's based around a Core 2 Duo E6400 processor. Since then, I've upgraded my video card to a 9800GT and installed an 80GB Solid State Drive.
I've been playing a lot of Starcraft 2 at the moment and sometimes the framerate will drop to under 30fps. I figured it might be time for an upgrade. I'm guessing processors will have improved significantly since I installed this.
So I'd like your recommendations please.
- Low noise. Passive ideally.
- Quality case. I broke a fan on my current one.
- Intel preferred over AMD.
- Nvidia preferred over ATI.
Thanks in advance.
