This isn't my topic, nor am I one of the helpers, but no. You don't need an upgrade.

Is this a good SSD for an upgrade from a WD Caviar Black?

I'm looking for a decent laptop for under 300 usd to run minecraft

r00t I was wondering what would be the best monitor for around 100GBP that I can use with my PC and Xbox? Preferably over 23"

Hey R00t I was wondering if you could link me to a website that I can compare performances of different components? Also on your custom PC thread you have a $600 build and I was wondering if that would be a good build to build off from?

Im going to be upgrading from a AMD A6 3670k,

I dont know if i should be going with another AMD, the FX 8350 or switch to Intel i5 3570k, This will be mainly for gaming and minor video editing and Photoshop.

I have budget of 400GBP for a CPU and motherboard.



I already have:

ASUS HD 7970 Direct CU2
1TB WD Caviar Black
128GB Crucial M4
Antec VP 550w
Zalman Z9-U3
Corsair H70 w/2x Corsair SP 120mm Quiet Fans


This is just a question, i wont be going with this, will the PSU listed above have enough power for a i7 3770k and a HD 7970, both overclocked?

Any help will be appreciated.

These two. But don't overclock the 7970 using that power supply. Power consumption skyrockets when that card is overclocked and it would draw more than 550w.

At stock clocks it's fine and you can OC the CPU no problem.

What will happen if i use more that 550w, will it blow up or catch fire or something?

Possibly nothing since units like yours are known to function beyond their specifications, but it could simply shut off under load. Nothing to be afraid of. You might want to pick up something like a Kill-A-Watt to see how much your system is actually drawing from the socket at any given time.
