Upgrading my computer.

**Adam** · 2nd July 2008, 04:58 AM

So I've decided to upgrade my computer

Given my limited budget, I had to go abit cheaper this time, heh (My last system cost like £1500/$3000)

So, I'm going from a rather ancient..

AMD FX 55
ATI Radeon X800 Pro (AGP card!)
2Gb DDR 1, PC3200

To..

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz 1333FSB Socket 775 12MB L2 Cache (2x6MB)

Corsair 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-18) Heat Spreader

XFX 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 650MHz Dual DVI HDCP HDTV out PCI-E Graphics Card

Just hoping I've got all the right cables and whatnot.

Sounds like a screamer Adam.

Are you building your own?

**Adam** · 2nd July 2008, 06:07 AM

Yea I'm ripping the internals out of my current machine to build it
But now that i think about it, I've got no idea what I'm gonna do with the spare stuff, lol
Guess I'll make a cheap, server type PC or something.
