needing some advice on pc + network

pc: So I got some money but I'm not sure if I should build a new one or just upgrade the one I've got.

mb: gigabyte GA-ma790x-ud4
gpu: xfx 4870 1gb
hd: 1x160gb(os) 1x500gb & 1x1tb
ram: 4gb patriot viper 1066mhz
psu: seasonic 520w modular
case: CM 690

the one im thinking of building.
CPU: AMD AM3 x6 1055T 2.8 Phenom II $185
MB: AsRock 890GX-Extreme3(USB3) $139
CASE: Coolermaster 690 v2 W/window $125
GPU: 2xasus 6950 1GB $200 (already got one)
PSU: Corsair HX620 $138
HDD: 500GB & 2TB Seagate HDD SATA3 $134
RAM: Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1333 $44

not to sure whether to get an ssd or just use the 500 for both os plus games.

thinking of changing the case aswel, would love to have something with a window

Cheers

ASRock Not good :<

Why does everyone always go for ASRock.

Cheap

cause its cheap, and the chipset is actually decent.

That said, i have an 890GX and i havent had any problems with it.

Suppose, not everyone has the cash to do any better.
Continue on!

i dont mind buying like a gigabyte or anything but reviews have actually said good things about this mb .

Yeah, i believe ya man, i wasnt saying otherwise.

Go intel.



getting a 6950 for 200 bucks is nigh on impossible, so I just chucked in a 570. cheaper card = lower cost anyway.

This beast of a router will do everything, including VOIP, in the one box. $350.

Otherwise you can grab a Fritz Box, legendary pieces of hardware that will do the same as the billion.

If you have the VOIP box already, go for this baby:

Billion 7800N: http://au.billion.com/product/wireless/bipac7800n.php

I have this and it has to be the best router out at the moment, perfect for all the devices on your network. These ones will set you back around $170.

NBN ready, will handle VOIP box, has gigabit switch (4-port), 300mb/s wireless transfer rates, will smash anything that you feed to it.

thank you chron, i've heard good things about the billion ones.

@i_w_88, i dont like nvidia or intel lol hence why i want to stick with amd + im doing alot of video and music editing and shite like that that will hopefully utilise the 6 cores. & i forgot to edit it, the 6850 no 6950 but i also know some people that know some people that can get me gpu's for cheap

Stick with the 6850 sure, it's a good card especially crossfire. But get a sandy bridge, they are faster than the 1055t; you're an idiot if you "don't like" intel or nvidia, because there's no reason to dislike them. Computer efficiency > senseless fanboying.

hmm true, i dunno ill just see.. i still have some time before i start upgrading. ill wait for karma's input and what not.
