Need new Mobo, CPU & RAM
Right, it's getting closer to Christmas and my birthday shortly after, so I think
it's a good time to start carefully wishing I get enough money to finally upgrade my rig. Currently, I'm running AMD Athlon X2 64 6000+ and 4GB DDR2 RAM on a ASUS M2N AM2 socket mobo. Anywho, time to upgrade but no idea what I should get. Money wise, 400€ would be the absolute limit. Any suggestions? Mobo: Asus M4A87TD/USB3 AMD 870 AM3 ATX CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition RAM: ??? EDIT: Actually, could go with Phenom II X6 Last edited by Dowly; 10-28-11 at 08:31 AM. |

Are you happy with AMD or would you consider Intel?
And is that cost just for Mobo, RAM and Processor?

Do you plan on SLI/Crossfire?
If so that MSI board is only single PCIe. If not, is there an outside chance that you would in the future?

I'd just been eyeing up that processor, about £160-ish here.

Looks good, maybe a bit heavy on the RAM. (ooh deja vu)
For comparison, I r looking at dis: Gigabyte GA-Z68ZP-UD4 Intel i5-2500k Kingston 4GB kit of 2 (KHX1333C7AD3K2/4G) €360,-, without a mate. Can save a few bucks on the board, doubt many people really need a board like that. (I do, for the frickin USB ports. Actually filled up all 6 on this Asus... ok it's just really shiny). I really really wants it, but I don't really really needs it.
