My current computer is showing its age (Single Core Athlon 3500 processor) is occasionally quirky and is running out of hard drive space. I'm considering building a new one. I'd like some expert opinion and advice about my proposed build.
Please note, the capabilities of this are already probably grossly in excess of what I'm going to be using it for. I only rarely play computer games and don't need to run the latest monster of a game at 400 fps.
I am intested in any advice about incompatabilites, weaknesses, overkill, item X meaning I can't use the full capabilities of item Y or obvious things I've missed.
Processor: Intel Sandybridge i5-2500
Motherboard: Gigabyte SKT-1155 H67M-UD2H-B3
Memory: Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 2 x 2GB DDR3 SDRAM (should I get 8GB?)
Graphics Card: Sapphire RADEON HD 5770
Monitor: Samsung P2450H 24-inch Widescreen Full HD 1920 x 1080p
Program Disk: Seagate OEM 500GB Barracuda 3.5 inch 7200.12
Data File Disk: Seagate Barracuda Low Power Hard Drive, 2 TB, SATA, 5900 RPM, 32MB Cache
2 Sata Cables to connect Hard Disks.
Case: Elite 330 Mid Tower Chassis
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Full Version (PC DVD)
Power Supply: CiT 750W Power Supply Unit with PSU and Dual 12V Rails
DVD Drive: Samsung SH-S223C 22x SATA DVD RW
Keyboard and Mouse: Logitech Wireless Desktop Mk300
Any useful advice would be gratefully recieved.
