I've had my PC since 2007 - getting a bit long in the tooth now, although it's had a few upgrades along the way. The motherboard was a £30 Socket 775 jobby, fairly basic, ran a Q6600 quad-core, with 4gb of ram. Later added a Radeon HD 6870 graphics card. In current guise it runs all the games I've thrown at it on quite decent settings, iRacing, Skyrim, Fallout 3/NV. I'm not a huge gamer, but there's a few games coming up soon that I'd like a chance of running on a higher setting. Also started to do a bit more video work which is pushing the boundaries of my current system.
So, £300 to spend on a new motherboard, cpu and ram. The graphics card is good enough for (me for) now, I've got an SSD that I can reformat as a main drive. Wifi card, PSU, case etc all decent.
Stuck a basket together in eBuyer, what do we think? Can any improvements be made without increased cost? Will they all work together?
