Cool Buddy
Wise Old Owl
So my PC can't take it anymore. It is still running but switching between Opera and Firefox takes about 3-4 seconds. So it pretty much reminds me of my old 800 Mhz PC with 256 MB RAM.
Anyways, it seems I will be upgrading it soon. Having been a little away from the hardware scene for a while, I am not really updated on the current prices. So I need some suggestions.
Firstly, since this upgrade wasn't planned, the budget is a bit tight. take it around 8-9k. I need CPU, motherboard and RAM. I found this in another thread:
AMD Athlon II X4 640 4.7K
Asus M5A78L-M LX 2.7K
Corsair Value RAM 4GB 1333 Mhz 1.2k
that totals to 8.6k
I am not very confident about Asus (my current motherboard's experience). So could you people suggest some other motherboard in this same price range. Also, if someone from Kolkata could update me on the prices. I'd settle for X4 635 if it is cheaper.
I am not much of a gamer, I watch HD Movies once in a while and mostly use my PC for running applications, can go upto 10 applications at time.
These are the things I already have:
AMD Athlon X2 3600+
Asus M2N MX SE (or whatever, I don't remember properly and it doesn't really matter)
1.5 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 RAM
MSI Radeon HD 5670 1GB GDDR5
Corsair CX400
20" Monitor, res 1600x900
Also, what should I do with my old hardware. Does CRY have any use for them?
and yeah, would an Intel option be possible within 10k. Don't want to go for it, just want to know how it compares currently with AMD
