I already have a ASUS HD 7970 DCUII, Antec VP550, Hyper 212 EVO, 1TB WD Caviar Black & Zalman Z9U3.

Im going for that ram because its CL8 and 1.5V with Blue LED's
Would you change anything other than the ram

Nope, that's all good! Just consider stepping the M4 up to the 128GB variant because it's not much more expensive.

To answer your previous question, memory bandwidth doesn't matter too much on the 1155 platform. Technically, a higher clock would be more beneficial for most people, though. I'd recommend the 1600 CL9 kit, but you can always adjust the settings for either.

Costs a bit less

I've had some major money set backs as I had a lot of stuff to pay out this month so I wasn't able to buy my PC, here's my current PC, could you try to find some cheap upgrades for me?

I will be trying to buy upgrades whenever I have money.

I can't even run that many games which is quite irritating, I can run Arma 2 OA at like 20 fps though..

Or would you say I should just save up and buy a completely new build?

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor
RAM: 4GB
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6670
HDD: 465GB
Motherboard: GA-M68MT-S2P


Edit: I have found a PC with the specs below for only 360 gbp, would you say that it's worth buying it or could I make a better one for the same price?

Here's the specs:

Case : Galaxy 3 Gamers Style Midi Tower Case
Motherboard : Gigabyte H61M Motherboard Technology
CPU : Intel Quad Core I5 2380P 3.1Ghz CPU
Hard Drive : 1tb Sata Hard Drive
Memory : 8gb DDR3 1333 Memory
Graphics Card : ATI Radeon 6450 1gb DDR3 with HDMI Hyper Memory Upto 2gb
Optical Drive : 24x Dual Layer Sata DVD Writer

That build you found isn't very good at all to be honest. I would save up and get a new build in the future. Pouring money into upgrades for an older system isn't very cost effective at all.

That's my recommendation.

Would a Corsair TX650V2 Enthusiast Series 650W TX ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze PSU be good enough for theses specs

Too much. Get this instead: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Also switch the cooler to the Enermax ETS-T40-T.B. If you want to spend ~110 GBP on an SSD, make it the Corsair Neutron GTX instead of the Force 3.

It does, though. Have you tried it?

I'm currently on win7 home premium. Is there any way that I could upgrade (without paying) to ultimate while still having all of my files and my desktop?
