So my jalopy is a crunk piece of shit that id love to tie to a ribbon and smash against a ship before its maiden voyage.

Here are my specs so far


Mobo : Asus P5X MSXE

Gfx : Ati 1950 gt

Intel Core duo : 2.13 G

2Gigs of ram

200(x2) gig hard drives

Runinng on Vista 32 bit.


I got bout 700 Euros ( 568 Pounds) to pep it up. Anyone got any suggestions. I looking forward to something durable for the next 3-4 years and something i can transpart relatively easily so i bring to the uni this sep

Silly question Wisty, but where are you based right now? Just to save saying certain shops if you'll then get hit with massive import duty...

im around berlin based georgraphical topolgical area

im looking to spruce the mobo and gfx. preferebly one that will last and doesnt need much maintainence

Wow no takers huh ? It must the the best computer in the world if noone can suggest to improve

Either you replace pretty much the whole thing (ie MB, CPU, RAM, GFX) or spend all the money on a portable gaming grade laptop.

Personally I think Laptop gaming sucks but if you need something portable over it being good then its an option.


My choice would be something like this:

and spend the rest on a gfx card.

Pilsy will no doubt be along shortly with a far better value deal. Probably an i3 or something like that. But this would only work if you are willing to overclock the CPU....which you really should be to be honest.

Sry Wisty, busy at work most of the day, this what a mate at work has just got
Linky

But like Neg said, no doubt pilsy will be about soon with a much better rig...

nah im jsut messing keep em coming

Are you after a laptop (would not recommend for gaming with the money you have available), pre-assembled desktop or components to assemble.

If it is a desktop you would probably be best going for an i5 with appropriate mobo and ram. You would need new ram (DDR3).

Are you are planning on reusing any bits (hard drive, tower case, PSU, DVD writer, monitor) or do you want a completely new system.

A quick price check on an i5 system for CPU, RAM, GPU and Mobo at £460. But what components you can get depends upon if you want a completely new system or willing to recycle some bits from your old pc within that £568 target.

aww cheers fellas.

Im willing to update as many parts as possible for the amount of money as i have. I laso think i may chuck in an extra hundred if it helps. But yeah i wanna replace as much as possible.
and im looking for a desktop

Thanks fellas
