More Upgrade Advice

corny

I've never upgraded before but i think my system (9 years without a problem) is probably antiquated at this stage.

I'm not a big gamer and i'm looking at keeping my budget under 300 euro if possible.

I have my eye on

MOBO: MSI H81M-E34
CPU: Intel I3-4370 (3.8 GHz, 4 MB, LGA1150 Socket)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance. DDR3 -1600 MHz

Will that work? Anything i'm missing?

Don't think i need a new PSU. I have a Corsair TX650 thats new enough.

I also have an Nvidia Geforce 7300le. Will that work with the new setup or will i be relying on the Intel? Like i say i'm not a big gamer so i could probably do without a GPU.

I think you could probably just go for skylake tbh. I'm linking a bundle here, but always look for these components separately first to make sure you are getting a good deal. I couldn't see much wrong with the price here and it makes showing what fits together so easy :L

You'll want to add an SSD (It's a hard drive but so much faster)

Also, that graphics card is likely to hold back the system I think. It's pretty old at this stage.

Modern integrated graphics are tenfold faster than that 7300LE. It would serve no purpose in any modern machine at all.

Oh! And make sure your case supports ATX. I assume it does, but no harm in checking

Rule #1 of any new build:
SSD.
Everything else is recyclable by comparison.

Swap the processor for Core i3 (4170) 3.7GHz, losing a whole 100mhz in base clock, and use the €40 saving to get a Sandisk 128GB Ultra II SSD instead

Thanks for the help folks. Added the SSD.
