[Deleted]

hello
i decided to upgrade my pc for gaming so can you tell me whether to upgrade it or just buy new one
this is all i was able to find
cpu : amd athlon 64 duel core processor 5200+ 2.60mhz
ram : 4gb ram 3.5usable . 800mhz
Motherboard: geforce 7050
Nvidia geforce gt440 2048mb i think
trust 550w

i really want to play SC2 and Wow with all the effects on a big HDTV 40 because im tired of playing on low graffic and still the games are not that playable and the pc is so slow atm
can you help me please
sorrry for bad english

Yeah, it looks like it's time for a new system. You -might- be able to reuse the case? And maybe the OS (If you have Win7). It's hard to tell what motherboard you have (I believe GeForce 7050 is the IGP?) but it's a 630a chipset.. which.. could be a lot of things.

Honestly though, new system.

Do you have a budget to work with? Maybe the old hard drive could be used?

dont have budget really
the case is okay , not damaged or something so ye can be used again and im using windows 7.
no need for HHD since i have 3. 1-220gb , 2-80gb , 3-550gb

I guess I would need just new motherboard , cpu , ram and graphic card.

[chazus]

Everyone has a budget. If you say "I have no budget" then you're going to be spending $1600.

You'll also need a new PSU, as I haven't even heard of "trust" brand. And I'd probably ditch those hard drives for a single, new one.

Well i didnt mean i dont have budget just want to play sc2 and wow on high resulution with all thw effects and im willomg to spent some money. i dont use the pc for any othwr games
can u recommend cpu video mb and ram plz
as for the psu , mine one is trust 570w of its not good can change it
been using it for 5 years w/o problem

[chazus]

Are you willing to spend, say, $1000?

It's hard to build a system without knowing at least a rough idea. Sometimes people ask what you want, but they only want to spend $300.

what I want is to buy the necessary parts to build ''new'' pc that can run WoW and SC2 on High def without problem. Also i dont want to spend that much. As cheap as possible but to be good enough for those two games
my budget would be $500-600 if you think that would be enough.

All I want is to have a computar where i can do lets say LFR 25man and sc2 4v4 lets say withouth problem . on high res . atm im playing on Low ;(

dont want a pc for end game lets say just wow and scs

So roughly £400?

WoW and SC2 on High def without problem

my budget would be $500-600 if you think that would be enough.

That's gonna be pretty rough to pull off, but I'll see if I can't put something together.

A 5 year old power supply shouldn't acompany you into a new build tbh, unless it is gold rated and from a solid manufacturer that is trust-able (pun intended). Get something real cheap like a Corsair builder or something, no point risking your whole system with a dinosaur PSU. That will be expensive.

I think we're looking at an i3 or lower end i5 build with a GTX650/650ti to be able to pull that off. Chazus is good with this so he should be able to handle this for you.

A friend of mine upgraded to this setup recently, and he's been pretty happy with it. His main problem with his old setup was lag during raids, and he says it runs very well.

PCPartPicker part list
CPU: Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz Dual-Core Processor (£86.99 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: MSI B75MA-E33 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard (£42.47 @ Aria PC)
Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£32.99 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£53.25 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: MSI Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card (£88.30 @ Amazon UK)
Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case (£39.95 @ Aria PC)
Power Supply: XFX ProSeries 450W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply (£34.99 @ Aria PC)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer (£12.85 @ Aria PC)
Total: £391.79

If you can swing an extra £90, it would be worthwhile to get an i5-3470, and a 7850, however it isn't necessary.

It's also possible, if you really think you can use the old case, and know it's a normal ATX setup and not some pre-built or Dell or Emachines or whatever.. That could shave off a little. And I suppose the 550gb hard drive would be alright, but it makes me nervous using old drives.

chazus' build is excellent for £400. If your budget is larger though, you can get an excellent build that will definitely allow you to play SC2 and WoW on higher settings.

Thanks for the build chazus

Well £600 will definitely get you a very strong build especially if you don't plan on overclocking
