Hey, I was planning on upgrading my current, low-spec PC so that it could actually smoothly run current games. Here is a list of all the components I plan to use to upgrade it, I already have some which will be recycled from my current PC:
GA-M68MT-D3P Gigabyte Motherboard, AM3+ but has a Nvidia chipset -- Already have
500GB HDD Hard drive, with windows 7 Home Premium -- Already have
8GB (2x4GB) RAM, not sure of make -- Already have
XFX P1-550S-XXB9 PRO550W Core Edition Power Supply
BitFenix Shinobi Midi-Tower Case
EVGA Nvidia GTX550Ti 1GB
AMD FX 4170 Processor - 4.2GHz, SKT AM3+, 12MB, 125W + Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro CPU Cooler -- Already have.
Are these all compatible with each other? And would I have sufficient power?
I am also wondering what fans to get as the Shinobi Case has multiple fan options. It can have two 120mm fans in the front, one 120mm in floor and two 140/120mm in roof, with one 120mm rear exhaust fan.
Thank you for reading, I look forward to reading your advice and recommendations.
