I've had problems here and there with BSODs, not booting up, etc etc, but they seemed to just go away after awhile..
Any suggestions? or suggestions for parts to upgrade with? I'm not familiar with compatibility of parts either, so I'm no where near knowledgable to do this myself.
No need to toss systems, upgrading chunks here and there will work fine for you. Depending on how much you want to spend I'd say...
Things to replace:
Mobo
CPU
GPU
Things you may want to replace:
Memory
Things to add:
SSD
Things to keep:
Case
PSU
HDD
ODD
I don't know how high you want to upgrade, but I'd say following whats listed above would bring you up to date. The reason you might want to replace the memory is because 4GB 1333MHz mem is kinda small and slow, its really cheap to get an 8GB pair of 1600MHz or 1866MHz mem.
I'm pretty sure I can't just buy whatever I see and think is "good" and just piece thigns together.. I'm in Canada and looking to buy from NCIX, or price match at ME..
I've been looking at the samsung 830 ssd's, and if I do upgrade, I'll get 8GB of faster ram for sure.. (does the one in the newest build video work? 1866 speed). 7870 would also be a really nice addition. What cooler should I get to OC my CPU?
