Ok well I've been out of the hardware game for a few years and don't know what's hip these days. My currnet system is dying on my and either crashes to blue screen with an IRQL error or won't boot and just beeps. video card is newish and hard drive as well so I've come to the conclusion it's time to rebuild the other compononents.
here's my tower
Chaintech VNF4 :: AMD 3200+ winchester
PNY 9800 GT :: 4x512 Kingston value ram pc-3200
250 GB Seagate barracuda :: Soundblaster audigy 2 zs
CoolerMaster Centurion 5 :: Antec Truepower 430 W
So basically a new mobo, processor and memory are needed I think, and in turn perhaps a power supply. think I can get away with the current case.
I don't need anything super high end and I don't overclock so really a no frills system that will last and be quick for every day use since I really don't play games like I used to. I also have no preference for for AMD or Intel so whatever is recommended.
Again emphasis on the cheap, my budget is as low as it gets but still good enough to improve my dying system
thank you
