A 3G PC Build: The AfterMath
So on the 27th of this month 2 years ago I completed my first build. The total came out to be $3,183.00 and it has treated me well but now that I am enrolled and school and do not game much anymore i am wondering whether I would be better off selling my whole build, leaving me stuck with my sh!tty Hp Pavilion dv4 laptop, or whether I should take the time to upgrade it so it is more up to date. With that said I know that upgrading it will cost a pretty penny and this is while I have no job so that would be something i would have to figure out.
Basically what it comes down to, is it worth putting in the money to upgrade certain components? Or should I just pass it on to someone who could get more use out of it?
Here's the specs:
Case: Thermaltake M9 VI1000BWS Mid-Tower
(Plus a 12" cold cathode neon light) like 10$
CPU: (Quad-Core) Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 @ 3.00GHz 1333FSB 12MB L2 Cache 64-bit
CD: LG 20X DVD R/RW + CD-R/RW Drive Dual Layer
CD2: 16X DVD Rom
FlashMedia: Internal 12in1 Flash Media Reader/Writer
Fan: Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler
HDD: Raid-0 10,000 RPM 2 WD Velociraptor's
Motherboard:Asus Striker II Formula nForce 780i SLI Mainboard
Memory: 8G Corsair Dominator DDR2
Network: Intel Pro gigabite 10/100/1000 Network Card
PowerSupply:1,000 Watts Power Supply Thermaltake Tough Power
Sound: Creative Labs X-FI XtremeGamer 24-Bit PCI Sound Card
Display: Silverstone eudemon sst-fp52 LCD Display (This thing blows)
Video: Nvidia 9800 GX2 1GB 16x PCI Express
And that pretty much sums it up.
Thanks
