    Upgrade Advice Needed

    Upgrade Advice Needed

    Thanks for the reply. I don't mind to wait a couple weeks if need be. Increasing my budget is not really an option. I assume you're suggesting an upgrade to the CPU before the graphics card and SSD? Also, I had both pieces at around $400 so I'm not sure how they don't fit into that budget?

    Lower Fan Speed

    I went against peoples advice here and got a CPU fan that is extremely loud. I've downloaded SpeedFan and I'd like to adjust the speed. At full speed without any programs running the CPU (AMD Phenom II) stays between 29-35C - from what Ive read this is pretty good. Ive also read that it can go...
