Hi guys, my old ATI X1800Xl decided to eventually give up.
I was on the look out for a replacement video card and ordered the MSI R9 390 today.
I need some advise on the below components.
>What power supply would be recommended, i do not plan on getting another card and running crossfire.
> I would like to overclock the Video card and the CPU.
> I want to increase the Ram on the PC to maybe 8GB total Max, as i am not sure how much longer i will keep this PC and build a new one.
My currents system specs:
Intel Core i3 -540
Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H
Gigabyte 500w
Antec 300
Samsung 23" LED
2 * 2GB Transcend DDR3 1333
250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
1TB Seagate
250GB Seagate
3 * 120 Case fans
1 * 140 case fan
To be installed:
> Thermaltake Ultima 90 , 2 * 120 case fans
Again, due to the issue that this is an old system and it is going to be hard to find spares for this PC. If the Motherboard or CPU gives up i'm going to need to build a new one.
So i'm trying not to spend any more money then is required.
Thanks.
