Hey guys its that time of year where i am in need of upgrading my CPU,ram and possibly PSU, the system isn't performing as well as it used to now.
Here's my current spec
Case: NZXT Classic Source 210 Elite White
Processsor: Intel Core i3 530 @ 3.3GHZ with Coolermaster Hyper 212
Motherboard: Asus P7H55-M
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 2x2GB 4GB 1600Mhz
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB+Hitachi Deskstar 250GB+Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB
Graphics Card: MSI OC Nvidia GTX 660 2GB
Monitor: LG Flatron M2762DP Monitor TV
Speakers: Logitech Z-4
PSU: Corsair CX400W
I am mainly looking into replacing my CPU after 3 years and 1 month of usage,its starting to show its age in terms of my own personal usage and doing university work.
Being a student i am also on tight budget. I was just wondering if these are compatible with each other, as i am not familar with AMD side.
Another question is would i need to upgrade my current PSU after being used for 4+ years for this new CPU upgrade and with my current graphics card.
Also does my current cooler the Hyper 212 support FM2?
The usage is for casual gaming still and also doing university work such as java coding, web development and cisco networking.
Do appreciate the advice.
