Morning all,
It's been 5 years since my last computer build and I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard, CPU and graphics card.
I know I need RAM but that's a minor issue I can add on afterwards.
My current system includes the following:
GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Black Processor
And a measly Radeon HD 5450 which I put in as a swift replacement for a broken:
HIS H487FN1GP Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
I'm not a big gamer at all though I occassionally tinker, I use the system for watching video's and I also want to start using Sony Vegas to edit video's. I currently use a laptop for this but I want to move this to the desktop system.
Any thoughts or ideas? I've been out of the loop for a little while....and hey if I can get RAM in there too, even better.
Thanks a lot.
