Hello CGA/ToJ/LoE techs,
looking into a few upgrades and wanted some of your opinions
Here is my current windows performance scores
Processor 7.0
Memory RAM 7.2
graphics 7.9
Gaming graphics 7.9
primary hard disk/disk data transfer rate 5.9
here are a few things i am thinking about buying;
1. Mother board = ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX AM3+ AMD 760G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
benefit;
higher core cpu,
double my RAM capacity from 8GB to 16GB
go from 1333MHz up to 1600MHz or 1866MHz RAM speed
and go from sata II 3.0gb/s to sata III 6.0gb/s for hard drive
2. Processor = AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ Six-Core Desktop Processor
benefit;
go from triple core 3.2GHz to a 6 core 3.5GHz processor
i can buy both for about $181.00 brand new with warranty's from newegg.com
here is what i am running current;
ECS AM3 socket Mobo
AMD Athlon II x3 450 3.2GHz triple core cpu
Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3 1333MHz 240-pin RAM (2x4GB sticks)
HIS Radeon HD 7850 GDDR5 2GB Video Card
Raidmax modular 630 Watt PSU
Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200rpm sata II 3.0 gb/s hard drive
IDE dvd/cd drive
do you think this upgrade would improve my gaming considering my current specs?
