Hello again good people of hexus. One has been a bit inactive for a while and has adopted a role of a lurker these days.
Anyway, I want to build a light gaming system for my sister (L4d2, goat simulator, amnesia, skyrim, tf2).
I have the following spare parts:
-Athlon x2 5000+ AM3 (never unlocked) @ 3.2 GHz OC
-400w Silverpower SP-400P2
-HDD + win 7
-Radeon HD5770 512MB
-cheap unbranded case
So essentially I need a new AM3 MOBO and DDR3 Ram
EDIT:
Hmm a thought occurred to me that I could steal her new parts, and give her mine
M3A78-T (AM2+)
8GB DDR2
It wouldn’t be a massive upgrade for me I know. But I plan to do a complete new build for myself around the release of the skylake chips.
