New Computer

With the increasing amount of things changing etc, Again, the possiblity of a new build comes to mind...

If i get the new mobo, ram and i7, and salvage things like my hdd, monitor etc I think it would be able to be pulled off.

Would the 6gb ram be enough to healthily 5 box?

@Freddie, I will wait the week and see if the prices come down, Because every little helps xD

The biggest issues I had with 6Gb was while in dalaran, other than that it's quite doable. BUT, even if you did upgrade to i7, we still might be looking at switching cases/power supplies as it is. So while you may get more performance with i7, it would end up being a lot more out of your pocket. And while I ended up doing something just like what you're considering (Switching to i7), I don't know how your finances are for you, so I'd say go the less expensive route. Keep in mind I had moved back in with my mother, with almost zero expenses, waiting for the money to come in from my job so I could upgrade.

That would be no problem, I don't mind hearthing 2 at a time or w/e it takes ;P


Also - I think for now, with the increasing prices etc that it will take to get all the different options with the new mobo, i7, ram, etc etc I feel it's too much of a sink to pull out at this time and would feel more comfortable sticking with what i have, and upgrading to Black edition Phenom II. Also I think i'll look at getting a different case that will neatly accomodate the graphics card along with upgrading the powerpack if it is needed.. (I'll check later, but don't want to go inside the case at this time!)

Also, due to the unknown nature of whether this will support 5 boxing, I don't mind cutting down to 4, as that is probably a better number to group with friends or whatever

The price of the black edition Phenom II is £160 at the moment with free shiping, and i'm hoping that price will go down in the next few weeks with the release of the new chips.


Edit; Thank you all for your help - however it's coming up to 5 am, and I need to grab at least a few hours sleep Thank you for your help and i'll be on more tommorow to possibly continue this discussion

The only problems was windows started dipping into my page file, making performance somewhat laggy. And good idea (voiced be everyone) to wait for prices to drop with the new release. God knows how common price drops are, and how often we kick ourselves in the butt for not waiting a little bit.
