• Upgrade to current PC - UK [£400-£600 Budget]
    5 replies, posted
Hi, My current setup is as follows: Intel Core i3 2130 3.4GHz 4GB RAM Radeon HD 5830 1GB 500GB WD HDD I bought this nearly 4 years ago now and as of yet, it has been nearly perfect for all my needs, including running most of my games max or near max. I'd like to give it an upgrade if possible, I'm looking to get a new HDD, extra RAM, new processor and a more powerful GPU. Any help would be appreciated, I guess I'd also need to include the OS (Win 8) as my current one is OEM so it cannot be transferred easily.. (?) Thanks!
What is your motherboard model?
[QUOTE=Levelog;44066269]What is your motherboard model?[/QUOTE] As I'm not at home I'm not exactly sure, but going back to the page from where I bought it it says it could be this one; Motherboard: Gigabyte H55M-UDH2 Intel H55 (Socket 1156) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
How many watts is your power supply?
