I was hoping I could just buy one or two things, but turns out my Motherboard isn't compatible with newer hardware (such as AM3 processors and DDR3 RAM)


So bearing in mind I don't want to spend too much over 300 Euros, thoughts on this system?

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition (3.4 GHz) - 89,90 €
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L LE - 58,90 €
RAM: DDR3 Corsair Vengeance Blue, 4 Go, PC3-12800, CAS 9 - 25,90 €
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 6870, 1 Go - 139,99 €

Total - 314,69 €

I already have a case, a PSU, CD Burner and two HDD's.

Some good specs but hardly "newer hardware", although it will definitely give you nice performance! I myself would go with similar parts as frankly newer gfx cards for example such as radeon 7770 etc can't compete with the radeon 6870..also the 965 is a great processor for the price..so thumbs up to you and good luck

Yeah, the age of the hardware doesn't really bother me. In my computer at the moment I've got a HD 4850 and DDR2 ram - old stuff, but I use it for new games and software... things just tend to run slowly and crash more often than they should.

Haha yeah I still have a radeon 4670 and dual core CPU but it does the job
