[Ki113r Sp00n]

Im going to upgrade my AMD Athlon 7750 x2 , Awful AM2+ Cheap Mobo and 2gb 800mhz generic ram. Ive decided on the AMD phenom 2 955 x4 because of great value for money and alot faster than what im running at moment but im still unsure about mobo and ram ive found these

mobo must have at least 1 pci e x16 for my hd5850

Look for some Gskill or Corsair ram dude, theres plenty to be had for a bargin. But id also say get 4gb and get a 64bit Operating system aswell. (widows 7 64bit that is)

Ive looked at corsair new it costs about £100 for 4gb. ill look second hand

yer corsair Ram seems to be bouncing between 110-70 pounds (at scan) so look 2ndhand.

Sadly no the buget is £250 max.

Im keeping my eye on ebay for both ram and mobo

Has anyone got the Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0 790GX Socket AM3 mobo or had any experience with it because i cant find any reviews on the AM3 version of this mobo.

If so whats it like any pros or cons

Ill probably get the Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0 790GX Socket AM3 mobo with the AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE from ebuyer. Thats £203.63 with super saver free shipping. That leaves me with £50 for ram.

£3.63 over budget is ok

£50 for anything other than budget ram is going to be pushing it, even with the budget non branded ram its a push

I found OCZ Reaper 2Gb DDR3 1333MHz for £46 or OCZ Platinum 2Gb DDR3 1333MHz for £47.
