What part should I upgrade?

ArthurG

Hi,

I build my latest PC just over a year ago - i5 2500k OC to 4.7ghz, 2 gig ram, 6850 PCI E card.

Without going into all the detail, the case needs to be replaced. I have a full tower at the moment which is a bit big, I'm keener on a quiet mid tower is possible - any recommendations?.

Secondly, aside from this I have about €150 to spend on an upgrade. I have a velociraptor OS drive (80gig), which I was considering replacing with an SSD, or would more memory be better?. Any suggestions?.

Thanks!!

6 quid over budget but 2gb of RAM is very little these day. You want at least 4. Also you'll need a 64-bit Operating System to make use of the 8Gb of RAM.

Oops I have 4gig not 2. That looks pretty good for 150 odd quid, thanks for the suggestion
