Nothing crucial, it's my Steam drive. And i'm pretty sure i have hard drives older than this lol.
Thanks for the input guys, i'm going to get a PS, maybe a hard drive too. What Power Supply do you recommend for this build? Corsair CXM 550 be enough?
Forgot to mention, that $880 includes a new copy of Windows 10 Full version $130 and a few bucks for shipping. I lucked out and got the video card on Amazon last night for $279, they sold out in like an hour and are back up to $350 when i checked this morning.
Thanks,
The power supply is actually operational in my son's computer. It hasn't been sitting on a shelf all this time. It functions just fine. I am going to give him my old PC and just take the PSU out of his to start my new one. I keep our rigs pretty clean, usually blow them out with my air...
Hey guys, I recently ordered some new hardware for a new computer build. I have a couple pieces I am using from my old computer. I am going to keep a hard drive WD Black and Power supply Antec Quattro 1000. These parts are about 7 years old. I am wondering if I should replace the power...
Pushing my budget a little bit and no SSD but I am about to pull the trigger on this. Let me know if it's good:
Seagate 2TB
GSkill Sniper 2x4GB 1866
ASROCK Z97 Anniversary
i5 4460
$437
FX6300
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3 1600
Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB
Seagate Barracude ST2000 2TB
$394 at newegg. How does that look?
Thanks guys. Never considered the pentium as I thought the boards needed for OC were too expensive. I would consider it or the FX 6300 if you can show me some good boards for cheap that overclock well. That would also open the budget for new hard drives. I really want a 2TB with SSD or 2TB...
Would 2x4GB be better for dual channel or is that not cool anymore?
Would sell my graphics cards but have to keep 1 for the kid. Maybe i'll sell 3 of them. Which is better the 470 GTX or 560 non ti?
Hey guys I need an upgrade. Looking to spend about $400. Current rig posted below so you get an idea of what I am trying to upgrade. I plan on giving my kid my old computer so I need to build all NEW. I can take the better of the three video cards I have. Not sure if I should keep my old SSD...
My Q6600 B0 won't hold an overclock anymore. I had it running @ 3.2 for years. I bought it when it first came out, how long ago was that? About a year ago it became unstable. Runs fine now at stock clocks only.
You know, I am not dissapointed in my previous setup at all. I bought the Q6600 the first day it was in stock so I have owned it that long. Its still a decent computer. I think I am going to hold out another month and buy a $400 upgrade combo to see if I can get the same longevity. Thanks for...
No microcenter. Probably have to get from Newegg no good local stores.
And I dont mind going AMD or Intel. I was actually thinking a A10 or new I3 would be faster then what I have. If $300 doesnt cut it i'll just wait until I can spend a little more for a Core i5. I just didnt want the...
Hey guys, been a while since I upgraded my computer. I only game and browse the net. I need the best upgrades I can get for around $300 bucks. I'm thinking I should start with Board/CPU/Ram but would like to hear your suggestions.
Current Rig:
Q6600 @ 3.0ghz
4GB Ram
PNY 470 GTX
Antec...
