upgrade/overhaul

[bluerr]

Hi all,

Been some years now since any major change in parts for my pc, thinking of making a new build. Any recommendations for one? Thinking of an overhaul but want to keep these parts:

- keyboard/mouse
- monitor + 32" TV (dual output)
- 1TB Hdd
- 250gb SSD
- 7870 twin frozr 2gb

Mainly for some light-mid tier gaming, movies/music/online video streaming etc, office tools.

Hoping to set up something that can last a few more years as i'm lazy to upgrade every 1-2 years.
Budget about $750-$800.

TIA

Will it be any different with a $800+ budget?

dun see the pricelist, the price is meant for full system only. buying mb+cpu+ram will usually need to +40 to 60.

if u dun play game, upgrade mb+cpu+ram can liao. best change psu incase the old psu might not have enuff juice.

Go sls and walk walk, work out ur budget and buy it.
