Hey, guys.
I've got an old Dimension 5150 that I'm looking to upgrade to be a reasonably powerful gaming rig.
Pentium D 2.8GHz dual core
502 RAM (upgrading +1 gig)
305W PSU
Integrated graphics
Factory direct, bought it three years ago before I knew what the hell I was doing.
I'm looking at a Sapphire Radeon HD4670 512MB for the card. I'll need a new PSU, though. Something cheap, but effective (budget isn't too much of a problem, but I'd like to stay under a few hundred total, anyway). Any suggestions for a specific PSU, or just grab any one that has a good amount of wattage?
I've got one fan. Not sure how the airflow is. I'm thinking about rigging up a liquid cooling system.
Any suggestions/idea/holes in my plan?
