New upgrade to old computer
Finally i've saved up enough money to upgrade my system. Im only upgrading the cpu, mobo and RAM as I already have a decent enough GC, Hdds and soundcard.
Currently, and for the past 4ish + years (i think) i'm running a c2d conroe e6300 (b2). Its served me well and has constantly been clocked, since the day I got it, in the range of 3.1-3.3 ghz. Its still going as well as it was the day I got it.
I recently upgraded my card to the 6850, which is also overclocked, so that wont need changing as its fine for now. Although I am thinking about getting a second.
The components Im thinking of getting are-
mobo - Asrock extreme 3 gen3 z68
CPU - i5 2500k
a decent cooler, most likely the A50 as I have heard very good things about it.
Then I come to the memory. I literally have no idea what kit to get. I would like a really decent performing kit for around the £50 mark. Ideally 1600mhz and it has to be an 8gb kit.
Im currently looking at the corsair vengance, ripjawsx, and crucial ballistix kits.
If anyone could give me any advice on which kit would be a good buy I would be very greatful.
