Its time I feel to upgrade my system and I have been researching like crazy trying to find all the best parts for the rig.
This PC will be primarily a gaming machine.
Now im very tempted to go down the intel i7 route despite the prohibative cost, but the sensible part of my brain will probably win this fight and I shall settle for something along these lines: (comments welcome!)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, E7300
Motherboard: Gigabyte EP45-DS3L
RAM: 4GB of value stuff
Graphics Card: Thinking a ATI Radeon 4870 1GB, though this is where I have some questions...
From my old system I have a CoolerMaster Centurion5 Case ( http://www.silentpcreview.com/article200-page1.html ) Im 99% this will be fine to use again, but I thought I would just check?
Now I also have a FSP BLUESTORM/500 ( http://www.neoseeker.com/Artic...iews/fspbluestorm500w/ ) This is where im stuck, will this powersupply be good enough to power the new system, or is it on the borderline like I suspect?
Any help is most appriciated
