Boiler puts end to PC,help needed!!
Hope you can help me on this!
I was on the verge of ordering my new all singin and dancing PC,when the 'Poxy' boiler decided to go Bang!! :mad: So now my only alternative is to slowly start saving for another, or try to make my 2 year old PC go faster, (specs below).But the only time i opened my PC case was 4 weeks ago when i updated the Graphics card. But i am quite confident i could upgrade myself, but would need some help on which parts to change. Should i change the Mobo,if so PCI-Ex or AGP...but would i have to change the CPU also. And if i do that, do i get P4 0r Athlon 64,which will be around the longest? Or maybe add some more RAM,but do i add to what i already have or sell the old and maybe buy 2 newsticks of 512's. But i would like to keep the cost down as much as poss,or upgrade slowly..."say over 6 mnths"! As for graphics card,i recently changed my old ATI 9000 128mb for a 9800se AIW,but i am selling that and looking to get a new 9800 pro or a XT. What do you think? Then there is the HDD. The one i have sounds a bit 'Ropey',so that will have to go! "GOD i'm building a whole PC here"! Let's not forget the PSU or some good cooling!
Many thanks in advance! :bowdown:
