PC Upgrade?

Post by Adshead » Tue Aug 09, 2011 10:19 pm

I need to upgrade my PC for approx £240.

This is the spec I have been looking at and would be installing it in my current case.

1. AM3 Motherboard- USB3 AMD Socket AM3 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard (£60)
2. 2 x 4gb DDR3 (£50)
3. Processor- AMD Athlon II X4 640 Socket AM3 3GHz 2MB L2 Cache (£75)

The above items are what I would like to get unless someone knows of better similar price?


4. HDMI Graphics card- (£50 approx)?

I want to run a 32" LED HD tv with my existing 19" widescreen monitor.
Can I have my existing monitor running via my motherboard output & the HD tv on my new graphics card and which card should I get around for £50?

Can anyone advice me of what & where to get from please?

Open to any suggestions and currently looking on ebuyer for these items...

PS. My current system is a AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual core 4200+ 2.21ghz, 8gb DDR2 RAM (max slots filled).

Thanks,

Adshead

I dont understand?

Are you saying the processor & motherboard dont match?

Do you know what would be compatible?

I would like usb3 (for future proof), AMD processor X4 or similar, 4 dimm slots of DDR3 & HDMI graphics card.
