Well, my PC is a little over 3 years old now, and it was starting to show its age. My CPU was limiting my performance in games after switching to Vista, so I have been thinking about upgrading it for a while. So yesterday I ordered new CPU/Mobo/Ram and was planning on getting a new graphics card in the next few weeks. What I wasn’t counting on was my current power supply giving out. So unfortunately I am now down more then I was expecting. So it looks like that new graphics card is on hold for a while longer.
Anyway, my new parts are:
OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Active PFC Power Supply – Retail
AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor – Retail
MSI K9A2 CF-F V2 AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard – Retail
OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory – Retail
Which means I now have the following extra parts:
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)
CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory
MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor
Perhaps I should hit eBay to recover some of the unexpected costs (unless someone wants to make me an offer)
