Kalkaii Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hey everyone how's it going? Today I have decided to bump up the power of my computer and install a new processor and mobo. Couple of things to know before hand are the following. I have a 500W PSU, GeForce GTS250 1gb 256bit DDR3 and I will be reusing all other hardware from the computer already. My current CPU and Mobo are the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHZ Dual-Core and a Asus NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE Micro ATX of some type. So far I'm looking at things like this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103871 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176 Now please before giving any suggestions keep in mind the above and also I will only be purchasing MoBo and CPU for hopefully under 250$ I'm not looking to make this the best pc by any means but one that will play SWTOR in pvp and such, my current set up lags to no end. I will be upgrading the RAM as well but that is cheap and not a big deal. So anyone got any good ideas? I need something that will not bottleneck what I have(doubt that would be a issue). I also wanted to know what everyones idea and thoughts are on certain things. Such as a high grade Dual Core intel vs a Quad Core AMD of the same price and Ghz. Please remember the price range and what I'm trying to accomplish which is play SWTOR. Thanks for all and any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
