    New build - Some parts needed to complete it

    Thanks for the suggestions so far; never really thought about buying an H97 motherboard; I'll look at the different options and come back with a new list during the weekend. The Gigabyte model seems pretty interesting; it would be a big upgrade over my current Biostar model (never had any...

    New build - Some parts needed to complete it

    Hello everyone, My current system is starting to show its limits. My Sandy Bridge Pentium fan is spinning a lot lately under heavy load (especially since the recent visual enhancements with Eve Online) so I think a new system is the best course to go. My current system will either be converted...

    my next pc build($550)

    In regard with YeuEmMaiMai build, I see a big omission; no sound card is included. Two quick questions for you : 1) Can you up your budget to say 600$-650$ ? Just to give us some elbow room. 2) What king of games are you playing and at what resolution ? Depending on your answer, a R7 250...

    Component help

    Frankly, I've never done any overclocking but I do know that a better and more powerful PSU is a requirement in this matter. From another thread I'll give a PSU proposed by the moderator Dangman yesterday (Seasonic SSR-650RM) : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00918N4A0/?tag=hardfocom-20 As for...

    Component help

    That Corsair model had good reviews in the past; if you're sure you won't overclock, you could keep it for now but plan to buy a new PSU in 2 or 3 years

    Finally moving away from AM2+...seeking input on build

    Hmmmm If you're really serious on overclocking, I would buy a new PSU. I'll let others like Dangman or Tiraides make a judgment on this point but personally I would add that part to your budget. Anyway, even if you don't overclock that part will need to be replace in 1 or 2 years from now...

    Finally moving away from AM2+...seeking input on build

    How old is that Corsair PSU by the way ? You may have to buy a new one depending on your answer.

    Time for new computer between $500 to $1000

    Personally, I would get a new case and a new PSU. The Sonata Artica is an old design with no cable management. Your budget is sufficient to add those parts to your new build. Suggestions : Corsair CX500 for the PSU and Corsair 200R for the case.
