Using an Athlon 64 3000+ PC for many a years now, it seems the parts are failing now. Have compiled a config & would like to get some inputs on it.
AMD 4.4 GHz AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL)
Samsung 840 Series 120 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive (MZ-7TD120BW)
Seasonic SS400BT PSU
Asus DRW-24D3ST DVD Burner Internal Optical Drive
Have 1TB HDD + 3TB WD My Book + 8TB on NAS, Logitech Z-5500 speakers, Logitech Mouse + Keyboard, D-Link Wifi N 150 Card & a GeForce 6600 Card + Creative SoundBlaster 5.1 Card, 32" FullHD Samsung Series 5 TV
I am ready to change my specs, but I will need minimum
a mobo with USB 3.0 ports & header & SPDIF Optical / Coaxial out port
a cabinet with front USB 3.0 ports
I want to watch a lot of 1080p content (not possible on my current PC, was barely playing 720p with tweaks, listen to FLAC files, DVD-Audio tracks (no MP3s for me), browse net with multiple windows on my 4G LTE connection. Run Adobe Creative Suite 6 from time to time for some basic work. Not into gaming much but my current PC does not permit me go do that either, would love to do some light gaming if my system is responsive enough..
I am very confused about the graphics card, want to save some money & continue using my old GeForce 6600 card, but not sure if it will bottleneck the system. The same goes for SSD. Really want to go for a ASUS Xonar sound card but the ones with both Dolby & DTS are just out of my budget.Need good recommendation on motherboard, graphics card, cabinet & PSU.
I am from Kolkata, so please suggest brands which are available & serviceable in Kolkata.
