Hey,
Im planning on upgrading my old system. Currently I'm running a:
intel pentium d 820 2.80ghz
450w cooler master powersupply
2x2gb ddr2
nvidia 8800 gts.
So i'm planning to switch to amd, simply due to budget reasons. Seems that i can get a lot more out of amd with a budget in mind.
New specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3,2GHz 6MB Black Edition -96 eur.
motherboard: ASRock Socket AM2+ M3A-GLAN -45 eur.
PSU: Modecom PSU 620W 14CM ATX12V2.2 4XSATA 37 eur (not sure if i need a new power supply, i thought that 450w might not be enough)
I am planning to keep my computer case, graphics card and the ddr2 rams for now.
I am building this computer with gaming in mind. I'm not going for the absolute best, that's why i kept the graphics card, but I still want to play the newer releases on decent settings.
So my question is, will this setup work?
2) would the old power supply be enough for the new setup?
3)Is there any way i could save some money, but still keep the same or better performance?
