Hi All,
I’m contemplating changing my rig (as I do from time to time) and am thinking of switching over to Intel from my AMD. My Current Rig is:
Phenom II X4 955BE
Gigabyte MA770-UD3 revision 2
4gb PC2-8500
Samsung F1 1tb
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II OC 2048MB
Corsair HX450W 450w
Antec 300
I have around £400-£500 to spend and was wondering what the general consensus is? Do I have enough decent parts to reuse, i.e. Case, GPU, PSU and RAM etc to add to the Intel CPU and MOBO that I will have to buy, or should I save a bit more to replace any of those that I had planned on reusing? I would like to see some improvement when playing games (BF3, Skyrim etc) and would like something that could be upgraded in the future. I wouldn't want to spend £400 for negligible improvement.
Or………… should I just stick a new AMD CPU (And maybe some more RAM?) in my rig for the time being? And if so, which one?! Any advice would be appreciated!
