My brother would like to upgrade his PC (current spec is AM x2 5000, 8GB (I think) RAM, Asus motherboard, several hard drives, etc. in an Antec NSK4000 case.
He would like to upgrade to a newer motherboard and CPU. The only thing he has specified is 16GB or more of RAM (and as DDR3 is the cheapest?) best to choose that?
Main uses - testing Windows, VM Ware, virtualisation etc.
Any recommendations (please)?
