Hey everyone
I'm looking to upgrade my current old pc with a budget of around $350 AUD(i'm from australia), what i've come up with are
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83Ghz Quad-Core Processor ($85.00)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4 70.0 CFM Rifle Bearing CPU Cooler ($32.00)
Motherboard: Asus P5G41C-M LX Micro ATX LGA775 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($49.00)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($67.00)
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R7 260X 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($119.00)
Total: $352.00
My current cpu is a dual core e5400 with the mobo listed (Asus P5G41C-M LX Micro ATX LGA775) , the rest im not mentioning becuase i no they need the upgrade.
PSU: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-eXtreme-Power-Plus-500-W-Power-Supply-Review/728/10. i think my PSU is that one. im unsure what my uncle put for me when he built my PC.
- is the q9550 a good cpu with my listed mobo?
- will it bottleneck the gpu i listed? if so would a r7 250 sapphire 2gb ($95) be a good choice?
- can i overclock my cpu with this board? or is it not worth the try?
- im really unsure if the gpu, ram and HDD are compatible with the mobo i just used pcpartpicker to do this.
- the prices are listed myself because im purchasing them from a vendor thats not listed on pcpartpicker ( MSY if anyone is interested)
