Hi everyone

after a summer of being absolutely skint/void of money and coming close to annihalating my PC I've decided now that I have some money to upgrade.

I'm on a students budget so not looking to spend too much, but I'm wanting to get a decent enough system upgraded from my last with a case that will provide sufficient enough cooling, with a view of pawning my old system off on my father who is still running one of those PC's that has a mouse and wheel included with the PSU :p
(don't worry my system still functions and is more than enough for what he'd use it for :D)

anyway I just wanted to get some advice, see if the system I've put together is considered enough.



MOBO

GFX

https://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?GW-265

and possibly

CASE

https://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?CM-SCOUT

Currently using a HIPER 530WATT BLACK PSU

with a few HDDs so they won't be an issue I don't think.


As I said I'm on a budget, have got a pretty good system at the moment, but think that rather than buying my dad a new computer, would be worth upgrading my own and giving him my current system.

(AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.21ghz)


Thanks for your time.

:D
 
I'd recommend that you go with the AMD Phenom II X3 720 processor instead of the Athlon II X4 620 with this motherboard. Also, the Radeon HD 4870 (1GB would be a better choice for a gfx card.

As for the case, I personally like the Antec 900 case better. You can find it here. (However, case is a matter of personal tastes.)
