Ok, I never thought that I would ask for help here but I guess I'm bored and there seem to be some people around here that actually know more than me about PC-Hardware, so here we go:
It has been around 4 years since I upgraded my PC for the last time. This is the usual time that passes between my rig-upgrades. The PC I have at the moment looks like this:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ @ 2x3.2Ghz ( will be exchanged)
- Nvidia GeForce 9600GT @ 512MB ( will be exchanged)
- Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 RAM @ 2GB ( will be exchanged)
- ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition ( will be exchanged)
- Corsair 600W PSU (will stay)
- 240GB Seagate SATA HDD (will stay + one additional HDD)
- LG DVD (will stay)
- Random Chinese PC-Case (definitely exchanged!)
What I want to do with my PC is:
- Playing my favorite games (QL, Warsow)
- Playing some good sp-games (Metro 2033, Crysis, aso.)
- Graphics Design (using Photoshop & Illustrator)
- Recording, editing and rendering Ingame-Movies
- Perhaps simultaneously play and stream my favorites (QL & W§W)
Now we get to the interesting part. I have already looked around a bit and found something I consider "good", so here it comes:
Everything together (+delivery) would cost me 602.66€ at this shop (which is one of the best online shops here in Germany). However I have a limit of 700€ to spend so I could (not must I also can save the 100€ if the upgrades are only minor) buy:
- Another CPU, however I want a AMD because I simply don't like Intel (Asshole Company imo.)
- Another GFX-Card, preferably Nvidia and it must be quiet and not too hungry
TL;DR: Look at my possible new rig and comment/post suggestions about what could be changed for up to 100 additional Euro (no Intel, if possible Nvidia).
UPDATE
Replaced the GTX560 FTW+ with a GTX560Ti from the same company. Also thinking about getting the AMD Phenom II X6 1100t.
