I'm building a budget system for some gaming. The specs I'm going to have are: - E5450 (with lga771 to lga775 mod) - Asus P5ND2-SLI - 8gb DDR2 667mhz - HD 7870 - 80+ rated 500W PSU I just got the motherboard from Ebay (marked as used and confirmed working), and all other parts are confirmed...

You could get another gpu like a 7870 or R9 270 and a 1tb hdd to last you maybe another year or two, depending on how high settings you want. You do need a complete platform upgrade though.

I have an E5450 in an Asus P5E-VM HDMI. Using an Intel stock 90w TDP Cooler (E5450 TDP is 80w), I get around 50c idle, and around 80c under 100% load, sometimes getting to 85c. I've undervolted NB, SB, and PLL to the lowest with completely stable Prime95 results, but for some reason, the Vcore...

I recently got a used CM Elite 430, all is well except I can't find any screws that screw into the standoffs, securing the motherboard. Same for my newly bought Logisys CS368RB (I know, I know). Am I missing something here? Both cases came with screws, but they only fit for the hard drive drive...

I have an old Inspiron 530 that I recently upgraded to 4gb of RAM and an E8400. Now, Windows Vista freezes on the Microsoft corporation loading screen most of the time, and the windows 10 bootable USB also freezes while loading. I ran a bootable memtest86 usb and it didn't give any errors...
