I bought a new desktop computer this month. It's about time I upgraded my old Pentium 4 desktop.
This was my old desktop specs:
Pentium 4 w/ HT 2.8ghz
Intel d915gav mobo
2gb memory (ddr400)
320gb hdd
500gb hdd
lg dvd-rw drive
Palit 7300gt sonic 256mb
stock psu
3 exhaust fans 80mm
2 intake fans 80mm
17" LG crt
Now compare with my new desktop specs:
Amd II x3 425 2.7ghz
emaxx amd785G-FXN mobo
2gb memory ddr3-1066
160gb hdd
320gb hdd
500gb hdd
Powercolor hd4770 ddr5 512mb 128bit
i-master sli 550w psu w/ 6pin pcie
1 exhaust fan 80mm
1 intake fan 80mm
21.6" wide Philips 220e full hd 1080p
I'm not much into high end rigs. I prefer mid-end affordable rigs that can run current pc games and play crisp hd movies.
In my old pc, I play video games at 1024x768 and settings set to low. Now I play at 1920x1080 and settings set to high with anti-aliasing. Thanks to my new hd4770 video card and an amd 3 core processor.
Playing HD movies are great. The picture is very clear and crisp compared to my old rig.
I'm planning to buy a Thermaltake v3 black chassis because my stock chassis is very tight and compact. It has only one exhaust vent and one intake fan, both for 80mm fan. Thermaltake's has 2 exhaust vents and 2 intake vents, exhaust: 1 rear, 1 top intake: 1 front, 1 bottom. All vents are for 120mm fans. Check out Thermaltake website
I'm going to purchase a UPS w/ AVR just to be safe from power failures and surges.
Hopefully I could purchase these two items by this summer. Maybe by then I can accessorize the chassis.
