Hello everyone, I am a pretty big noob when it comes to pc hardware. I wanted to upgrade to a SSD but I have no idea which one is best used w/ my Fx8350 8core AMD mobo (4gz-4.3gz). I was thinking of getting the NVMe ones, but apparently they aren't compatible w/ my AMD mobo. So I'm not sure what to do, was thinking of the HyperX gaming one. but i guess AMD doesnt support m.2. I would like the best bang for my buck, and willing to spend around 220ish for a 500g one. Other Specs: 1060 Gtx Graphics 16gb Ram 750 crosair PSU 1 TB HDD, -
Hello everyone. I'm Jhon, and I'd like to ask a few questions first, then hear (read) some recommendations. Here's the deal: I have a PC but right now I can't use it due to its PSU exploding and burning the MOBO with it, and it'll become 3 years old on November 15th, so I thought about buying a new PC rather than spending (and eventually wasting) more cash on my current one. Back in 2008 when my parents bought it, I had the (at the end FAKE, lol) illusion that with this PC I could run FSX maxed out, smooth as silk. Oh dear, how wrong I was! So, here are its specs: Processor: Intel Core2Quad 6600 @ 2.4 GHzMOBO (dead by now): Intel DG31PRVideo card: ATI (MSI) Radeon HD 4870 512MB DDR5Power supply (also dead): Thermaltake 500 watts. I previously had a 600 watts OCZ StealthXStream, very good one, but also died in a shortcircuit :/Hard disk: 7200 rpm Samsung one, 500GB. Well those are the most important parts, the rest isn't worth mentioning, imo. That PC, including the pheriperials (monitor, keyboard, printer, etc.) costed 1700 dollars back then, so my first question is, and I expect answers by people with experience in the issue, how much can (and should) I expect right now if I was to sell the PC? Of course, replacing the dead MOBO and power supply beforehand. Being that said, I want to hear advising: what should I buy next? First off let me tell you that the initial budget will be around 1100 USD, and could increase depending on how much I get for my PC (if I end up selling it). I've read several "I'm-about-to-build-this" topics, but I'd like reading advising considering my particular case. Also, I'm not very up-to-date with current hardware, so perhaps any of you could help me spot new hardware or possibilities that I'd most likely totally ignore if I built the new PC by my own. I want honest advising, by experience and if possible including components' prices, so that I can get an idea of how much each part will cost. Thanks beforehand, hope my post was clear enough.
