Hey guys,
I'm looking to upgrade my speed a bit but don't want to spend more than about $300. I'm running Windown 10 and have this setup right now:
1. AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 6-Core 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo Socket AM3 125W HDE00ZFBGRBOX Desktop Processor
2. GIGABYTE GA-990XA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990X + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
3. G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
4. CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
5. EVGA GeForce 8400 GS DirectX 10 01G-P3-1303-KR 1GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card
I'm not a gamer, just general use, internet video, office programs, Evernote, etc.
I'm looking for the best bang for the buck and was thinking about popping a faster CPU in the same board, but will it make much difference?
Also, I'd like to know your opinions on memory, whether or not I should have more or faster memory and what your favorites are for a non gamer who just wants an overall quick user experience.
I look forward to seeing your suggestions.
Thanks everyone.
Rob
