Cent~SPARTA~ Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 In the next 4 to 6 wks im going to be upgrading my system. This wont be the mother of all systems but believe me its a massive upgrade from what's installed now. If possible i'd like comments idea's etc about the components as im not a massive tech mogul as most of you all know by now lol!! If anything looks wrong or mismatched let me no. My budjet is only £600/£700 so its not going to be a "Dream Machine" but something that should last a wee while. At the min i will be staying with Win Vista x64 until later in the year when i hope to upgrade to Win7. Let me no what u think chaps. Asus P8Z68-V PRO Z68 Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 1.5V Non-ECC Unbuffered Gigabyte GTX 560 OC Edition 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card Corsair 120GB Force 3 SSD 2.5" SATA-III 6Gb/s Read = 550MB/s, Write = 510MB/s Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed . I already have a 800W PSU And Corsair CPU cooling from last upgrade along with a poor mans 260G HDD. This i hope to replace when the floods receed.
