Looking to upgrade my PC , anyone got any advice on the following

Motherboard
Processor
8 or 16 gb ram
SSD

Going to re-use the case , Radeon 5800 and PSU (750 watt) that I have at the moment.

I'll probably upgrade the graphics card within 6 months and the PSU if needed.

I'm hoping to use this new setup for the next 2-3 years.

unless you are planning to run a number of virtual machines 8Gb is more than enough
SSD no brainer
Motherboard and CPU the best you can afforded ( I prefer Intel CPU's , core I7 , and a motherboard(ASUS) with the latest chipset)

But I suspect you know this already.

i7! newest version. and i prefer gigbyte motherboards ... u get more for your money.

Thanks for the input guys , I'm looking for something a little bit more specific though , actual makes and models that you have in your machines or that you've used.

i got a samsung 840 pro 128 gb ssd the other week and christ its quick, i had a corsair force gt before that i can reccomend them both. as for ram i only use Corasir now had other brands over the years but its far and away the most stable & reliable (avoid OCZ utter shite) and i only use ASUS boards now for the same reason,
i would look at something like this,

sounds reasonable, good choice

PC upgrade problems ?
Fuck that just go ask some random woman to fix it.
And then replace your harddrive. There, new computer.

Thanks Semper!

I'm sorry but it has to be said ...


Like a boss!!

On this topic I just popped in a gigabyte Z77-DH3 mainboard with a I5-3570K with 16GB of DDR3-1600 RAMS on a Samsung 840 250GB SSD today and reused my corsair 520W power supply. Got two 12 800rpm fans and something called a Scythe Grand Karma Cross which looks like a fucking V8 engine for a heatsink with a fan mounted on top curling down onto the CPU.Weighs 750grams or so, and requires a mounting system that clinks it into the frikking MB. This shit is huge.But my box is literally whisper quiet.
