So, after putting off an upgrade for the past 6 months Im finally decided it cant wait any longer. I was just planning on upgrading my CPU but because Im stuck with an old 939 socket looks like the Mobo needs upgrading aswell, then RAM to run with the new mobo.
So Iv got a PHENOM II X2 545 cpu Im going to upgrade from a Athlon 64 3200+. Now the motherboard and ram are the only things I havnt got yet, and was planning on getting a ASUS M4A79T-DELUXE and just a 2gb stick of DDR3 (1333MHz) corsair ram for the time being. Also, Iv only got a 430W PSU at the moment and Im not sure if Im going to need to upgrade it for this new stuff, The exact model is here. Also the graphics thats going to be running with this is a ATI HD4870. Im hopping I wont need to get a new psu straight away.
Basically Im just trying to get my computer up to date and capable of upgrades as I get more cash. If you see any issues with the hardware Iv chosen please let me know, or if u have any sujestions on anything better around the same price, Iv got AU$350 (US$320) to spend on the Mobo and RAM, and it must be decent enough to be upgraded.
