Right off the assembly line
OBJECTIVE: To future proof a home desktop PC for the next, say, 10 years.
We are planning to buy an AMD AM3+ FX8320 Octa-Core Processor
to be coupled with an ASUS F2A85-M Motherboard
and with a Zotac GTX 650 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card
PSU of 620W (see the query at the bottom)
A note regarding upgrades we may seek in the future: Due to sparing pockets and the urgency imposed(brother pestering me!) I want a sound surface for future upgrades, which may include:
8 GB DDR3 RAM
1 or 2 TB of HDD
A graphics card better than that listed, this board has support for dual cards.
A 24 inch Full HD monitor
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
The tasks we want this system to perform, hassle-free: play latest games (mid settings) for maybe the next 5 years, then onwards, will solely be used for movies, Internet and daily chores like office work (maybe also for gaming, though infrequently).
So, is this parent configuration alright?
Besides this, is PSU of 620W enough for such upgrades?
Also, can anyone help me buy a decent cabinet, with a provision for these upgrades?
Thank you in advance...
