Upgrading my PC

[fedee13]

Hello guys!

I want to upgrade my old PC and I'm looking for your expertise. Please, tell me if I'm doing something wrong:

Old PC:

Intel Core 2 Duo E7400
Asus P5KPL-SE
2 GB DDR2- 400 Mhz - Kingston
Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 Vapor-X 1 GB
HDD 200 GB Samsung 7200 RPM
HDD 500 GB WD 7200 RPM
Coolermaster 550W

New PC:
Intel i5 3450
Asrock Z77 Pro3
4 GB DDR 3 - 1600 Mhz - Kingston Hyperx
Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 Vapor-X 1 GB
HDD 200 GB Samsung 7200 RPM
HDD 500 GB WD 7200 RPM
Cooler Master 550W

What do you think?

Thank you!

Get an H77 board instead. Also, you should get a newer GPU as well. 7750 is the most basic entry point for modern gaming. Also, the PSU sucks, get a Seasonic, XFX, Corsair, or Antec one.

Go for Nivide Geforce video cards they are good an nice prices.

You can get a alot better gaming computer, you don't need Intel Core i5-3450, Intel Core i5-3350P is cheaper and performes the same, use B75 instead Z77 because your CPU isn't overclockable. 7790 would be better because you save up money from a B75 motherboard and i5 3350p, you can even save more money by going to AM3+ AMD FX6300 which performs almost the same but has six cores vs four cores, BUT ITS EASIER IF YOU TELL WHAT YOUR BUDGET AND IF YOU NEED OS AND OPTICAL DRIVE!

Hey! Why a H77? Here, they are more expensive than the Z77. Right now, I can't afford a new GPU (I am satisfied with the performance of it. I mostly play sport games) or PSU, they aim of this update was the CPU, motherboard and RAM. Thank you very much for your answer.

Here in Argentina, I couldn't find the i5-3350P. Additionally, I don't aim to overclock either.
When you say "AM3+ AMD FX6300", you're referring to Amd Bulldozer Fx 6300, right? If it is, which motherboard would you recommend?
My budget is U$S 400-500, also I don't need OS nor optical drive.

Thank you very much for your assistance AMDRadeonHD, but the CPU doesn't existe in Argentina. The motherboard is U$S 300. The memories are U$S140. The HDD is U$S 160. The GPU is U$S 240. As you see the prices are much more higher here, I would kill for those prices.

It's harder to make a $500 gaming computer if somebody's prices are way too much higher! 🙁

H77 is cheaper in the states by a nice margin. (Imagine Z77, but with fewer features.) Also, that PSU actually is a problem.

I know, I was surprised too when I saw that a Z77 was cheaper than a H77. Are any of these brands any good? (I think they are not...) And how many Watts should it have?

I know what you're saying, it sucks. What would you say about the FX 8320 or 8120?

 

[AMDRadeonHD]

AMD FX-8320 is the best value processor I have ever seen, it's not that much slower than AMD FX-8350 and it's alot cheaper, it competes with Intel Core i5's and it's hugely overclockable, definitely recommend it to anyone!

Ok...Any cheap motherboard I can along with it?
Also, there's a combo of a FX8120 and a Asus M5A88-M, what do you say?

So I finally bought everything
Yesterday I was playing FIFA and when I went back to the desktop there was a pop up saying that the cores temperature was 65 Celsius. Is this common? Do I have to do anything? Take any precautions?
