Hello, I have been saving up and after getting my tax returns it is time to replace mobo cpu and ram
Currently I have a dual core amd x2 system which I will be setting aside, I have a 650 watt psu, a thermaltake case mid size a radeon 5830 and all I need is a new motherboard ram and cpu, I am wanting to go along the lines of a phenom 965 with a motherboard with atleast 2 pci-e. I want to be able to use this for a while, atleast a few years, My budget is around 400-650 depending on how good of a deal I am getting, I was tempted to get an i7 build but I would rather spend the extra money on a SSD to go with the phenom x4 965 and get more performance. I have been checking out some motherboards, there are a lot of good deals on newegg, what I want is the best bang for my buck, atleast 2x pci-e slots and I prefer usb 3.0 if possible but the most important thing is it being easy to work with and not known to have any issues, I have done some homework but I would really like to get some feedback as I am kind of new to all of the modern PC hardware.
I also want to get 4 gigs of ddr3 1600 memory, I want it to be compatible with the motherboard so I wont have to tweak anything for it to work and get a headache doing it. If everything works out okay and my temps are good I might overclock in the future, I have 4 120MM case fans 2 on the side blowing in, 1 on the front blowing in and 1 exhausting air in the back, I would prefer being able to use the stock heatsink that comes with the cpu because I have had issues in the past installing heatsinks. If I am able to find a cpu / mobo / ram for under 350 -400 I would like to look into an SSD Drive, something under 200$, I have 3 sata hard drives, I am curious if there is a motherboard out there that would support 6 sata devices or more.
Sorry this is so random.
Budget 400-650, I mostly need feedback with what parts to order (cpu ram and mobo) and I would like to order these parts within the next week or so but if the 6 core AMD cpu's are worth it I can wait longer but thats a whole different subject.
Thanks
