New pc time

[simon]

Pc build looks good but one thing I would do, pop a 486 in there that way you can see a real performance increase

Tank going to hijack your thread a little.

What do you guys think of this combo?
Would it run on a 600w psu
ASUS Crosshair V Formula/Thunderbolt AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD FX 8150 3.6GHz ( Eight Core Bulldozer Processor
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory

Have R6000 and would like to upgrade the CPU MB RAM.
Currently have a dual core intel 775 2.8ghz 4Gig ran 800
nvidia Gts 250

Depends on the PSU.

I'm running a:

Phenom 965 BE (3,4Ghz) Quad core CPU
8GB DDRIII Corsair RAM
Radeon HD 7850 (@1050Mhz)
1x 1TB HDD, 1x 1.5TB HDD

All off a 5 year old 500w PSU and its singing along nicely. So if it's a good brand PSU you have it will be more than enough.

Why not get an i5 CPU rather than the Bulldozer?

Still looking around just found that deal pretty nice but open to suggestions.
Will search harder for stuff this weekend for now just probing around.

As for the PSU Its made in china and a sticker of procase on it also about 6 years old still going strong tough.

Well look at these.

i5 2500k CPU = R2358

Gigabyte ATX Mobo = R1402
http://www.takealot.com/electronics/...board,10794947

2x Corsair Vengeance - 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM = R676
http://www.takealot.com/electronics/...600mhz,8944978

Total = R4436 and leaves you with around R1500.

I have R1000 set apart for a New case or Psu if need be.
Sorry but not a fan of Gigabyte,
First choice is MSI but ofcourse not set in stone.
But having a hard time finding a Motherboard that the gpu won't block something like the battery,sata port.
Busy looking at this
