Through some savings and hard work I've gotten about $1000 that I would like to put towards my computer/other general technology stuff.
I am going to put away half of the $1000 in a CD that has a mature length of 6 months, which means I am left with $500 to spend and $500 that I cannot touch, gaining interest.
This is my current computer build:
Specs:
CPU: Core 2 duo 2.66ghz @ 3.3 Ghz
HDD1: 300gb maxtor
HDD2: 1000gb (1tb) Seagate
HDD3: 500gb Western Digital
GPU: Sapphire 4870 1gb
RAM: 2gb XMS2 DDR2 RAM (800mhz) and 2gb kingston DDR2 RAM (667 mhz) I want to swap the kingston out, and try to keep the other RAM if possible
PSU: Antec 550 watt (Need a new one)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6
CASE: Azza Solano 1000 (blue)
Heatsink: Coolermaster Hyper TX3
FANS: 2x 230mm Blue LEDs, 2x 140mm Blue LED fans, 2x 120mm Fans.
My thoughts: Upgrade the PSU and RAM, and buy a new Monitor(I've got a crappy old one). I've got an ok graphics card for now, and plenty of storage space.
Thanks in advance.
