mykez69 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Right pc wiz kids. im upgrading my pc.i don't really want to change cpu. what i want is to use intel celeron d socket 775 dual core cpu4 ram slotssome pci slots and pci slot for graphics card.at least 4 sata ports. i think my psu is only the 4 pin one. will check later. i will need a decent grahics card that pref has 2 dvi ports. one for my dvi monitor then one to connect to my sony bravia tv. so i can watch blu ray movies from pc to bravia tv and have hd quality. also can i get a external hard drive that is powered by usb rather than an ac adapter? as i want to make usb loader for my wii. i been searching about but there is so much to choose from i am getting lost in decisions. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonez Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) whats ya budget mate? thats the main thing, and as for the psu 4 pin thing? whats that? you mean the power jack near the CPU? which the new ones are 8? as the 4 will still work in the 8pin they are backwards compatible. stick to the main brands, asus, gigabyte, asrock, evga, etc cant go wrong! id go for a p35 / p45 chipset, they offer great features and do the trick nicely! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....689&subcat= something like this one, the last one left though! so id snap it up quick! and as for graphics, the Geforce 8000 series is a fab gen of card, but they are old compared to the newer stuff, but dont get me wrong, they still work wonders and can be picked up cheap online! but id go for something from the GTX 200 range, or the ATi 5000 series, but again its all down to your budget! am on msn if you need anything mate is it that same psu i sold to you ages ago mate?
