Hello. I have been with my PC aproximately 6 years, and I feel some parts are getting old/rusty, and I wanna upgrade a few components. Please note I am not very knowledgeable is PCs, and any help will be welcomed;
Here is my current build:
CPU: Intel i5-3470. CPU 3,20 3,60
Motherboard: Gigabyte b75m d3h
Graphics: NVidia EVGA GeForce GTX970 (bought it last year)
Power Supply: Corsair GS700
Case: Cooler Master Rc-912-kkn1-ad Haf 912
Memory Rams: 2x Corsair Vengeance 4GB Total (8GB) 1600Mhz DDR3 (Only using one of them, since the other one is causing booting problems, making beeping noises and not booting, I think it is probably burnt)
Approximate Purchase Date: August, when I am going to US.
Budget Range: Around 2,000 dollars
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (Gaming > watching Youtube)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. (For now I am using a LG 24" TV screen, which works fine, but i was thinking about upgrading to a 120hz monitor.
Parts to Upgrade: I am not an expert, but I believe i need to upgrade my CPU, Motherboard and Memory rams. I also think my GPU, Power Supply and my case is fine, but wanna make sure my Motherboard will be compatible with a newer GPU I might upgrade in the following years.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing)
I live in Brasil, but will be going to Orlando and Vancouver this August. Was thinking about buying when i get there.
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: Never OCed before.
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: Anyone is fine.
Additional Comments: (I live very close to the beach, and I like my room hot, which might be bad for the PC, is there any type of cooler/case which will help my PC against ocean salt and cool it down?)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I keep getting black screen while gaming on my current PC, sounds still works for a few seconds, then my whole system freezes. Then my PC only boots if I change my memory slots sockets. An "expert" came to my house, and said this is a Motherboard problem, since it is old and rusty... my brother's PC which is on the same room as mine, also had this issue which got fixed when he changed his motherboard... so I guess the guy is correct. And figured I'd upgrade other parts as well as the Mother Board.
