Upgrading PC...

[DeathWish]

Hi I'm upgrading my computer and I am not sure about everything and would just like to know if there is anything I should probably change, Thanks.

Processor - AMD Athlon64 3500+ Socket 939 CPU -oem-
http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=CPA-A35NC93

Motherboard - GigaByte K8N-SLi Socket 939 PCI-Exp, SLi, SATA3 Motherboard
http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=MBG-K8N-SLI

Graphics Card - XFX 512Mb GeForce 6600 PCI-Express Dual DVI VGA Card
http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=GCX-XN66512

Cooling - Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940)

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)

Power Supply - Seasonic S12 430W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply

I'm mostly unsure on the Cooling Fan and the Power supply.

Better cooler



1)That CPU you linked to is OLD tech, it has a clawhammer core. Companies now don't even sell that core anymore.

2)That videocard is mistyped, the only SOHO card from nvidia with 512MB of video memory is the 7800 GTX 512 and certain dual core cards.

Thanks very much Urban , by the way you put better cooler but you never put a link.

Thanks, I havn't order any of it yet but I will be soon . The fan is supposed to be big or so I have read, how do I know if it will fit in my case or not? Also could you please choose me a case which it will definatly fit in. I don't want to spend too much money on a case though because I havn't got that much left now :P.

P.s. My current motherboard size is 305mm x 191mm, and it is what I have in my current case, I don't know what case I have though :/.

 

[urbanfox]

Any ATX case is fine (assuming it has descent airflow) and the HSF will fit the motherboard.

 

[DeathWish]

I know its an ATX case so hopfully everything will be fine, thanks again.

 

[DeathWish]

I might be able to get a new case as well, if I can I'll spend about £50 on a case. Can you suggest a good case that looks good too, maybe neon lights etc, what ever you thinks best.

 

[urbanfox]

Used this case many times, just no neon lights though.

Ive got that case ^^ pretty good case imo, i recommend it

Especially good with the neon lights xD

 

[DeathWish]

lol I might get it but I want to see what urban thinks first, Im making sure of everything because last time I spent loads of money on **** :P

And about don't judge a book by its cover, I don't want a ugly case...

 

[urbanfox]

IMO it's a crappy case, I got one from another company is strangely exactly the same. You can't beat cooler master's build quality for that price.

 

[DeathWish]

K i'll leave the case for now and wait till I get some more money then I'll hopfully get a good looking cool case :P

Used this case many times, just no neon lights though.
