Hello
I am finally upgrading my pc. However I easily suffer from buyers remorse, hence I focus on bang 4 buck.
I am shopping from within the Netherlands, and everything is more expensive here
What I am keeping from my old build:
Storage: SSD + HDD
PSU: 500w generic power supply (I know OCN doesn't like these, but I have been running it for 5 years now, and I trust it)
GPU: HD5770
Optical drive
Monitors (Primary resolution 1600x900)
Mouse/Keyboard
CPU Cooler: Mugan 2 (no idea what revision, so not sure if it will actually fit on my new mobo, but this is the least of my worries) - Might not even fit in the case
Soundcard
Headphones
OS (hopefully MS doesn't block a reinstallation on a new pc)
What I am buying new:
Case: Corsair Carbide 200R - €54
Ram (low profile): Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit - €51,90
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H - €121
CPU: i5-3570K - €205
I don't plan on overclocking currently, but I may do so in the future.
I know my GPU is relatively weak, but I plan to upgrade that later.
How does it look?
