Hey guys, I was planning to upgrade my computer a bit because its a bit old. Can you guys recommend me CPU + Motherboard?
My budget is actually pretty low. Around $150-$200. And I was wondering what can I get with that money? Obvious no i5 or i7. I was thinking about i3 but I'm not sure which one is the best. Or if I should get i3 3220 3.3GHz or i3 540 3.0GHz (Overclock to 4.2GHz)? and its a bit cheaper too. Also, someone said that lga 1155 and 1156 are dead now? not sure what that means. Thanks guys!!
My specs are:
Corsair 750W
Radeon HD 6870
Stock Dell 1.86GHz CPU
Gigabyte Motherboard EP43-UD3L
3GB( 3x1GB) Ram DDR -> I have 4gbx2 DDR 3 rams so I will upgrade those as well.
