as the title say's need a new PC cause the old one is dying. was freezing randomly, have solved that issue for now (i hope) by cleaning out all the dust and crap allowing the case to breathe better.
for now i was just intending to upgrade the motherboard,CPU,RAM using the exsisting case/psu, HDD's/optical drives etc
i have never built my own PC before however it seems better then buying a compete system. after doing some basic research i have found that a lot of systems seem to be fairly mis-matched.
was considering these parts for upgrade
GIGABYTE 880GM-UD2H AM3 DDR3 1800+ Six-core Processor Ready 880G + SB710 DDR3 1800+ HD4250 CrossFireX ready HDMI DVI Raid 0 1 10 JBOD 1394a Gigabit LAN
AMD-Athlon-II-X4-640-3GHz-2MB-Cache-AM3-Quad-Core-
Kingston ValueRam 2GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM
working on a budget here, a real small one as i hadn't planned to upgrade just yet.
with the above MB i should be able to upgrade to a much better CPU later on and add ram as i need it. intend to keep running XP on this system for now.
eventually plan to move everything over to this case Thermaltake Armor+ MX Black Steel Mid Tower Case
what do ya think
