Hey everyone so heres what im looking to do, i want to salvage as much as i can from my old computer when build a new computer but i jsut dont know what hard ware is really worth upgrading so ill give you my specs then list off what ive been thinking.
CPU - AMD phenom II 965 black edition
ram - 8gig DDR3 1600
HDD - 10krpm 1 tb ED HDD( relativley new my old one died)
GPU - dual Galaxy gtx 460's
PSU - 700W
case is a old asus alienware looking case with a ton of fans so cooling is njot a issue.
-first off i was thinking of getting a SSD for the main drive that would hold my fav games and my OS
-second i have looked at my cpu vs the I5 and I7 as well as the amd 6100 and the 8150 but cant find any good things that say its worth the money.
-third, i was looking at the xfx Double D 7750 which has nice clock features but someone recomended the GTX 660 TI to me instead, but its 3 times as much
- Fourth, i was looking into liquid cooling and people are talking about how theirs keeps the cpu temp at 59C but my current cpu runs lower than that with its set up so is it worth it?
i guess my biggest questions are the cpu and the gpu, i do have a budget for this revamp of about 600 and given my current parts i think i can build a great rig, any help would be greatly appreciated.
