Hello everybody, none of you will probably remember me at all. But I used to be quite active on the forum around 2009-2010 but then stopped completely cause of university ect. But I'm back and need advice on hardware as I'm completely clueless what's good or not anymore xD.
Anyway my specs are: 8GB DDR2 Corsair Dominator 800MHz, AMD Phenom 965 x4 3.6 GHz, Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X, OCZ 600W StealthXtreme, 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3, 2x LG Blu Ray Drive, ASUS M4N72-E Mobo and a Samsung SyncMaster P2070.
I found my sapphire 5870 vapor-x in the attic in brand new condition used only once and never put in again because I remembered my PC just shut down randomly sometimes completely from it. I think it was because it was my PSU not good enough? (if anyone could enlighten me on the situation would be great) But anyway, I know there isn't much I can upgrade as my mobo is very dated. But I only want to use this for casual gaming and stuff until I get some money together to get myself an Haswel build. Will this rig be suitable for most games today at like high settings? If I was to install my 5870 in will it bottleneck my 965 at all? And should i buy a new PSU so it will power everything all good?
