Need recommendation on PC

[ad3285]

Think my motherboard or GPU just died on me. When trying to power-on, there will be a constant beeping sound and there will be red lights blinking on my graphics card.

Thinking of doing an upgrade of the system, what would be the most recommended with a $500-$600 budget?

System will be used for surfing and mmorpg like ffxiv.

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955
Mainboard: Biostart TA790GXE 128MB
Graphics Card: ASUS HD4890 1GB Dual Fan
Memory: Kingston 4GB DDR2 800 MHz HyperX Ram Kit
Storage Drive: WD Black 500GB & Samsung F3 1TB
PSU: CoolerMaster Real M620W
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Hi, u can try to troubleshoot ur PC first.

Take out both sticks of RAM and clean the gold contact it with eraser/alcohol swab and slot it back.

Ur motherboard supports onboard graphics, take out ur graphics card and test, see if there is display.

How old is the entire rig? Got more than 5 years ba?

Cause if you were to upgrade might as well start from scratch. Reuse HDD and probably if OS is 64bit.

i5-4440 + Asrock h81m dgs ~ $318
Crucial 8gb ddr3 ~ $90
Zotac gtx750ti ~ $205

Reuse the rest

$613 buy and DIY @ tradepac ask for discount

If only gfx problem and the rest ok..u can just get zotac gtx750ti, a ssd and maybe another 4gb ram to boost ur system

Got it. I'll find time to dismantle my graphics card out and test first.
