If I buy the above, I would also need:
- A new PSU (450 el'cheapo currently)
- A new Monitor (17" LCD currently)
- possibly new hdd, my 160GB is like 5 years old
- GPU
Thats the thing when upgrading there are always "Hidden" cost that rape the budget, but good luck trying to make it all work, it will be well worth it when it all comes together
After a failed weekend of trying to get Rage working on my pc, I've been forced to relook the upgrade path myself.
Thanks to OP and all the replies for some good input on what to look for.
Would this be a good spot to query the AMD vs Intel routes ? I've been running Intel for so long that I don't even know what AMD is like anymore...
hey guys whats the best value 4 money mother board to get with the i5 2500k 3.3ghz (less then R1500).
I was thinking
DDR3-1666 RAM with the option to get higher later on.
And the ability to over clock the CPU later on if i wanted.
I don't really understand the difference with the letters in the motherboards names
