Upgrade My PC Please! Episode 6: Core 2 Quad Land

[Atretador]

I'll vote for The Dyson, since its actaully not working properly :X

 

[TeHash]

Best of luck to all contenders! My vote goes to Blue lightning.

 

[SupaJ]

Lets go TEAM USA >.>

 

[Campez]

Go Bruce unlike the others your system would be "complete" in both ways

 

[Cookie Monster]

Rooting for Brucy

 

[misor]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? no intel Pentium E5400 ?
I have a still working e5400 pc with ecs mobo, still in working condition albeit with usual 60 centigrade cpu temp (retired). I recently found out that the stock cpu cooler was not properly attached due to only 3 holes in the ecs mobo instead of the proper 4 (no cleanup, hehehe). I used to use this pc more than 4 hours a day before I got my intel core i3-530.

 

[Rhinotz]

Rooting for the Dyson, come on lad.

 

[GonzaRoh]

Man this time it was tough, not an easy decision. But that means I'll be happy to see anyone win it. Good luck!

 

[Doomer]

those are some old dusty systems
Bruce ‘Rockin Da Oldies’ stands out here with the new ssd he will fly like a rocket!!

 

[DDannyy]

Hardest choice yet but my vote has to go to Andrews due retirement

 

[Hector N Ortiz]

Gotta say even though Bruce has a decent system with the R9 390 the upgrade path will actually make his rig good up front without anything really holding it back. Unlike many of the others it will actually be complete with the upgrades.

I agree

 

[Roddimuss]

Had to cast my vote for the man from Canada. Once all his upgrades are in he would have a very nice complete system.

 

[section94]

Best of luck to Andrew!

 

[jphahn]

It was a hard choise, but I think Andrew needs the update the most.

 

[TheGR8Cobb]

Think Andrew's Due Retirement is due to win.

 

[RishiL]

Love the colour preference on blue lightning. Seems like the guy actually cares about his PC being good looking without it being RGB

 

[Gerald L]

I really wanted to vote for Francis, but... SO. MUCH. DUST. And... hair? Is that fur? Either way, if you can't be bothered to do that simple little bit of cleaning on your hardware, the money for an upgrade will probably go to waste. So... hope you win, Bruce.

 

[wolfesteinabhi]

GOOO!! Hot Tomale!!!

 

[ramadandn]

It's time that ddr2 base system is retire . good luck to all participant

 

[dannaz]

I voted for Bruce but they all need the upgrade

 

[lensonz]

Blue Lightning - king of the retirement village.

 

[p8titan]

The Dyson duster

 

[RaXoR]

I voted Francis. I know his struggle with being in a relationship that doesn't approve.

 

[Cycloid Torus]

Dyson - may you render well.

 

[ET3D]

I'd vote for Blue Lightning if the upgrade path was reasonable, but to stick a gaming CPU with a Z370 motherboard and high speed RAM in a rig that has a 650 Ti and 160 GB (!!) hard drive seems like a terrible upgrade to me. If this PC was all Mitchell could afford last year, I doubt that he'd upgrade to a GeForce 1060 and SSD in the near future. I Would have gone with a Ryzen 3 1200, ASRock AB350 Pro4, 8GB DDR4-2400, 1TB HDD and GeForce 1050 2GB. Might not be a terribly impressive system, and might not have a motherboard with sprinkles of blue, but at least it would be a decently well rounded low end gaming system, instead of a half mid-range half 'can't do anything with it without further upgrades' system.

Ended up voting for Rockin Da Oldies, because that upgrade complements the graphics card nicely, making the PC into a pretty well rounded gaming machine.
