Hello,
Tis is my first post here. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I built my first system around 6 years ago and have upgraded little bits at a time.
I've fallen out of knowledge about computers over the last few years and I've recently got a problem with my computer.
Yesterday I loaded up counterstrike up for the first time in a few months and my game crashed.vsince then I've been unable to boot up and my pc has been getting really strange colours in vertical and diagonal lines down the screen.
My current system is the following:
Asus p8h67
Intel i5 @ 3.2 I think (I can't boot up to see)
8 gb DDR 3 ripsaw ram @ 1333hz
Total of 2.4 TB of hdd over 4 drives
Nvidia 8800 gets 640mb
Corsair 520w
I upgraded my motherboard and CPU and ram when my old processor went and now I get the feeling after looking online that my gpu has gone. Fair play to it, it lasted 5 years.
I was just wondering around what sort of spec gpu I should be getting to avoid any bottle necking anywhere. I live in the UK and I don't want to spend over 200 if possible for both the power supply and the gpu. I'm not even sure I'll need a new power supply but as its only 520w and 5 years old I think it might be best.
Does anyone have any recommendations ?? I've been looking at an 800w psu from ebuyer and a asus nvidia 550 GTX ti Which comes to about £170.
Any help is appreciated. If you want any more information just ask. I'm currently stuck borrowing my parents iPad.
Thanks.
