Hello,
I use my PC for the usual office programs, photo editing (Photoshop - nothing complex), and some gaming (for example, Mafia 2 and Deus Ex 3 when they come out). There is no real price range since I am not sure of what upgrades are really necessary. US parts. No brand preference.
Here is what I have currently:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W
Cooler: ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink
Memory: Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Video Card: BFG GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP
Hard Drive: Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10000 RPM SATA 1.5Gb/s 3.5"
Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Power: CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX 620W ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91
Case: Antec P182 Gun Metal Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster T220 (22")
O/S: Vista
I know that there are multiple sales going on right now... so What can be upgraded? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
