My current PC is several years old and it's configuration looks like this:
Processor: Intel Core2Duo E7200 @ 2.53 GHz on both
RAM: Kingston 4GB
Graphic card: Nvidia 9800GT and Nvidia 8800GT
Hard disk: 500 GB
Motherboard: Really not sure, but it was good some 3 years ago
Possible new configuration:
Processor: INTEL Core i3-3240 2-Core 3.4GHz Box
Board: GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H
Memory: 8gb kingston 1600MHz blu
Hard drive: 1TB Hitachi SATA3
Tower: 450W
DVDRW DVDRW
Graphics: Gainward Nvidia GTX 560 SE
All of that for 500 euros
I was also thinking of keeping the old one as a server, or cannibalizing it
for the RAM and the hard drives.
So? Opinions?
Switch out the Hitachi drive for a Western Digital drive, they have a much higher reliability rate than most Hitachi drives do.
Get a GTX 660 since they are fairly cheap still and better than the GTX 560.
No need to overclock it for more speed, the current CPU could easily run a GTX 670 without any bottleneck.
If anything a i5-2500K might be a good switch or to an i5-3570K.
