New build / Upgrade Advice needed

[MixtaMike]

Hi guys , I have a 4 year old PC at the moment an it manages to run BF3 on alright settings.

But with new MMO's coming out which i am interested i think I am in need of an upgrade.

I have an Antec 300 case which I can re use.

Heres what i have so far https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/QbKl2OchSRgzNQhs2ryQfA,,

I dont know how big of a PSU is needed so could someone help me out in that department.

My price range at the moment is £700 tops.

Would like to get this ordered so I can play Diablo 3 an Guild wars 2 .

Thanks for any responses

Good choices IMO

Why not reuse your current hard drive and get a SSD as well? Hard drive prices are a bit high atm.

A good quality 500 - 550W PSU should be fine, something like http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=45779

or if you prefer modular http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=46237

I've not included a hard drive, but have included an SSD https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/QYx3...-TCTNIzCVF3g,,

If you can play BF3 on ok settings, you should be able to run GW2, its requirements are fairly low.

Your second wishlist seems perfect reuse current drive and you'll feel a huge difference having an SSD as a boot drive

Im using a 320gb hard drive at the moment.


For current specs this is what i have :
Amd Phenom 9650 2.3ghz
4gb corsair ram believe its 800mhz
260GTX 192

I tried out the Tera beta an it was barely playable, also SWTOR runs like crap too ^^.

Should i keep my current HDD an just get a SSD ?

I'd be tempted to reuse your HDD if its gonna be big enough for your stuff, and get an SSD for OS.

Ok cool I will look into that, Thanks for the replies

Just an update, i can probably boost my budget to probably £1000 but over 2 months , 500 a month.

Or if i get accept for a bank loan for a new motorbike and pc.

I could probably achieve a budget of £1600. I would need a 64 bit os, and i already have a 22" samsung monitor.
Wondering if someone could possibly put together 2 new lists for both new budgets?

Aiming for a future proof desktop with these 2 new budgets, i play alot of mmorpgs so i think i need more vram?

I know im asking alot but it gets me all giddy when i think about playing games on max .

Thanks in advance !

With 1600 you could consider multi monitors If you really wanted to splash out you could buy a X79 setup.

Added after 2 minutes:

Give me a sec I am going to make a list for you

[MixtaMike]

I dont think i would get use to using mutliple monitors, I would probably go up to a 24" monitor. My room is pretty small

Thanks for the help Nev !

Only thing i cant see is a case, i dont think my antec 300 is big enough for these new builds

Sorry to be a pain lol.

I was looking at this case : https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...roductId=48098

Could i cut the price of sumthing an add that in?
