Hey,
I'm looking to upgrade from an AMD 754 chipset, but upgrading to AM2 requires me to upgrade pretty much everything else.
The motherboard purchased is a abit KN9 SLI
I currently have in my system:
MSI K8N Platinum skt 754 mobo (replaced by the above)
Athlon 64 3300+ 2.4Ghz (to be replaced with AM2 Athlon 3800 X2 or up)
2 sticks of DDR400 ram 768mb total (to be replaced with ddr2 800)
Verto GeForce 6200 128mb (to be replaced by 6800 or another late-series card)
400w PSU (to be replaced by 500w with pci-e and sata)
350w PSU (running fans, to be replaced)
2 DVD-RW/CD-RW drives (staying)
Seagate 160GB SATA HDD (staying)
ExtremeEngine 3T Case (staying)
Logitech X530 5.1 sound system (definately staying)
I'm going to be taking pics of the tear-down and build when I get the parts.
I just need advice of where I should purchase the parts, especially with a budget of about 350 or less.
