Hey folks,

 

Basically I have a old computer I built in 2012 I think? FX 6300, 7850 card, and 2 sticks of 4gb random GSKULL Ram. I feel like it's time for an upgrade :P  

 

I am curious if you guys think I should wait until Cyber Monday or today? I don't need a new monitor or SSD. (I have a nice Samsung 850 250gb which works great)

 

I think I'm just looking for a mobo, ram, psu and cpu. Thanks for reading!

look now and see if there are any good deals around now and pick those up and then wait for monday for the rest

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Thanks. I'm curious. I have a 550W Fatality one that I bought in 2012 I think? Do you think I should get a new one?

If it is the OCZ Fatal1ty, then I think you're golden.
