• Need help upgrading my pc (What to buy)
    5 replies, posted
Hello Facepunch, I am thinking of upgrading my GPU and CPU with ~350-425€ (Or just one of them if I am too cheap) Right now I have ATI Radeon HD 4850 1014 MB. My screen 1 Runs at 1920x1080 and the second runs at 1680x1050. For my CPU I have the AMD Phenom II X4 945 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz (Also I have 8192MB RAM And win7) I play a lot of games like Skyrim and Gta IV and such And my GPU goes batshit insane If I have better than ~Medium on Skyrim, Obviously It would be fun to max that out. I used to follow all the news bout dem best hardware but I don't anymore > No clue if AMD / Intel on the processor. As for the GPU I would prefer ATI But I don't really care. A lot of useless babble in this but just trying to explain as best as I can Also I live in finland so shipping to here would obviously help. Thanks for any help I might get! Please tell me If this is any good : Radeon HD 6950 2GB + AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1GHz?
The radeon would be a great upgrade after the new 7000 series come out since the 6000 series will drop in price, but dont get the 8 core bulldozer, its a waste of money and you'd be better off saving up some money to get an intel i5.
Err I am not sure but My mother board can only have AMD CPUs? its a ASUSTeK Computer inc. M4a78 -EM
That doesn't support the CPU you listed anyway. Get the Phenom X4 955 instead, or buy an i3/i5 and a new motherboard.
So If I would use my old case + psu + ram + fans, would these work? [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7356521/helpplease.png[/img]
Yes that would work but I would suggest saving up just a bit more for a better motherboard.
