• Looking to upgrade my PC
    1 replies, posted
As the title says, I'd like to upgrade my PC a bit. I mostly use it for programming and gaming, but I'm not interested in being able to max out every game out there. Just being able to run things generally better would be good (Take a look at my steam profile to see the kind of things I play). Here's what I've put together so far based on what I've been told before about what I should upgrade. - Current: Tells you what I already have The bit underneath tells you what I'm looking to get. - Current: ASUS M4N78-AM Motherboard : Either GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2P or ASUS M5A78L-M LX - Current: AMD Phenom II X3 720 CPU : n/a (I want to upgrade this in the future; but upgrading now would push the cost too high I think) - Current: Corsair XMS2 2 GB RAM : Corsair XMS3 4 GB - Current: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT w/ 1 GB onboard RAM Graphics : NVIDIA GTS 450 The only thing I can think of that I haven't put on here is a new PSU. I'm unsure how you figure out what PSU you need to be able to run all this stuff with, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated. The current set of new parts would come to around £113, I think this is a reasonable budget for me, although I wouldn't mind going just a little bit higher. (Of course, going lower for the same sort of specs would be great!) So, any comments? Any bad decisions you can save me from? Edit: I'd love to tell you my current PSU but I don't actually know; I'll dismantle my PC later on and find out if you need it.
BUMP. I've upped my budget to about £200, what should/can I do with this extra? :)
