[Mohammed Osama]

hey guys, so, this is my first day and thread in Tom's Hardware and I am thinking of building a gaming pc, (tired of my ancient hardware),
My current pc specs
Intel Core 2 duo (dont know much about it)
9600 gt 2gb
2x4 ram
450 psu
Case is pretty big (Mid tower atleast)
my bugdet is around 900 - 1000 $, which is 3600-4000 SAR, (I live in KSA)
My personel build

and prices are a little bit less in stores here than on sites like Newegg or Amazon
Sites witch operate in KSA (again much greater prices than prices in stores)
gtlsa.com
gear-up.me (best)
sofland.com.sa (worst)
Any help will be appreciated

At that price range intel is the way to go amd is too much behind in that price segment the 4 core intel will destroy that 8 core amd.

@Esco_sid ok buddy, I am going for Intel, but for GPU, I think I will go for AMD coz many have advised me to go for AMD and Amd is much cheaper in my town. And one more question, cant i use my old ram instead of buying a new one!
And I appreciate you a lot of replying me, i am pretty amazed that someone reply so quick in these forums!
