Hi!!
I really need help! Im on a really tight budget and my 8year old laptop's about to die soon. I have an old desktop as spare, but I really want to upgrade it.
Here are its specs:
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6700
AMD Radeon HD 5670 GDDR5
4x1GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 RAM
2x 160GB WD HDD
ASUS P5B-E PLUS Motherboard
Is it possible to upgrade the video card, power supply, storage and memory without changing the motherboard? What I currently have in mind is:
WD Carviar Black 500GB 7200RPM
MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card
Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 MHz CL9 8GB
Corsair RM Series 650W Gold Full Modular
Questions:
Is there anything I can change so that my budget doesn't go over $400? What GPU should I get to replace the current one(If it's possible?)? I don't need alot of storage so the chose the 500GB, however there's a smaller one called SSD, what's the difference between SSD and HDD? Will the performance decrease if I were to choose an SSD? What's the best Graphics card to get now, so when I can afford one, I can add on with the SLI/Crossfire configuration.
I just need a gaming rig that can play games like blackshot, dota2 and LoL on high settings.
Thank you so much in advance!
