Looking to build an upgraded (new) computer
Hello everyone,
It's been years since I've posted, but I knew that this was the place to post when I couldn't figure out what to do.
Currently I'm running this as my computer:
ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe
AMD Athlon 2400+ OC'd to 2600+ speed
768MB Ram
Nvidia 6800GT
Antec NeoPower 480W PSU
As I'm sure you can see, it's quite a bit outdated.
It fits my basic needs right now, which is running Ubuntu 8.10, but lately I've been getting slowdowns that are making me angry! I primarily just use the computer for internet and word processing, but every once in a while I break out the Photoshop CS3 and Unreal Tournament 3. Needless to say my current setup must hate me when I run that stuff!
So, I'm looking to replace this computer with something a bit more modern with the ability to upgrade if I want. I'm looking to build a very capable computer, but I'm not going for the all out gaming PC.
I'm on a budget of approximately $800.
I'm looking for:
Motherboard
AMD Processor
Capable Video Card (if I want to play some modern games, it'll take em)
I'd like to not have to buy a new PSU, as the one I have is pretty new.
Thanks everyone!
