I currently have a build from 2009. It runs well, but it's starting to feel a little sluggish. There have been some issues with it being difficult to start, crashing, etc. It can go months being fine, then occasionally it will give me the issues above, and then dissapear. It feels like it has a lot to do with the old HDD i have, and that it has certainly taken some beating. Anyways...I plan on using this pc mostly for prgramming (mobile apps, web apps, no apps that really require tons of rendering, 3D graphics, etc.).
Here is my current build (basically):
Motherboard: p7p55d - evo
Processor: intel i5-750 LGA1156
Harddrive: Some WD-750gb HDD, doesn't really matter. It needs to go.
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E
PSU: Rosewill Galcier 850M 850W
RAM: 4x G.Skill DDR3-1600 4gb
My main goal is to upgrade to an SSD, which I believe will require an update to the Motherboard as well. In addition, I do not believe there is much option (that doesn't require some annoying work arounds) in keeping the old i5, since most of the motherboards that support these won't support SSD. I have no idea if the graphics card will be an issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
