Going to use my vid card and Hard Drive from my old comp. I might get a SSD if I see a good deal.

All for $520.00. Do you guys have any suggestion? or see any compatibility issues?
 
Whoops, totally missed that. xD

Here, a bit cheaper. TIM not necessary, changed the PSU and case. Evo isn't really much better then the Plus, just easier to apply TIM.

nice, I like that case. Might get that one instead. but I wanted to go modulated psu this time. and do you think 600w is all I would need? OCing and all?

I heard the evo was easier to install on am3+ but I like saving money! so ill check it out.

Thanks for the info! :attn:
 
The 600w is plenty for a 4830 and everything else with plenty of room to spare. I'm not surprised your current build is not handling newer games but no room to squeeze in a new gpu? A 550ti would be worlds of improvement.
 
I play mostly mmo and they are more cpu dependent. I got into the starwars The Old Republic beta and I can't even download it cause I need at least a dual core!

eventually Ill upgrade to a ssd and newer Gpu
