    Good day,

    Need some advice to upgrade my desktop, so it will be up to date till 2018???:rolleyes:
    It has been 2-3years since i've updated my system so i don't know which is the best one out there atm. What i basically need to change is my cpu,motherboard and gpu. Everything else i've got covered.

    Here is my current setup which i need change.

    CPU = AMD Phenom IIx2
    MB = GA 880GM-UD2H
    RAM = 8GB
    GPU = Geforce GTX460

    *wanted a minimun of 16GB with a possibilty of upgrading it to 32GB later on.
    have been using AMD on all of my build due to it being less expensive, but willing to go Intel if much better. Will use it mainly for gaming/video/photo editing. I might go for a SoundBlaster Z if still in budget

    1. What is your budget? €350-€450

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming Video&Photo editing. (If gaming include which games = All current releases)

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Have 1SSD & 3HDD(2 of them in raid 0 config)

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? 1920x1080 ; No

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals?

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes

    8. How can you pay? CC/Paypal

    9. When are you purchasing? Whenever budget allows it.

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? No

    Thanks in advance
