• Birthday upgrade
    6 replies, posted
So my birthday is coming up soon and I wanna upgrade my PC. I'd like to spend ~$50 Current specs are: AMD 240 dual-core OC'd @ 3GHz 2GBs DDR2 667MHz Foxconn A7VMX-K XFX 4670 1GB 550W Ultra I'm thinking about upgrading to a better HDD. I'm currently booting XP off a WD 40GB IDE with a WD 120GB SATA laptop hard drive that a friend gave me for a backup/storage/booting games off of. I was hoping to find an HDD with preferably 640GBs+ of space. I have plenty of extra HDDs laying around but they're all IDEs and my motherboard only has one IDE slot so I can only have my IDE DVD drive and 40GB HDD running right now. I was thinking about getting a SATA CD/DVD burner so that I could have a burner and have an extra IDE open so that I could add another 40GB or 80GB IDE drive. Or possibly a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ and a CD/DVD burner? All ideas are very welcome. Thanks in advance. :slick:
Fifty bucks?
you should get another 2GB of ram, you're not going to get a 640GB hdd for 50 bucks, if you want a new harddrive you're stuck with 320GB
Quality Space Cheap Pick 2, but you're not going to get much for 50 :/

Also, I'd be willing to throw in another $10 to get a 500GB. [editline]12:09AM[/editline] Another problem with that is that I would have to buy 2GB sticks of RAM because my motherboard only has two RAM slots, and 4GBs of DDR2 runs around $80 which is much higher than budgeted, other wise I would upgrade that without hesitation.
