In the spirit of nostalgia, it's that time of the decade again: my PC is creaking a bit (not that much, considering), and I feel the need to build something new.
I'm planning on using the same case, psu, hdd, optical drive and so on, but investing in a new processor, motherboard, memory and gpu. Budget of less that 400.
This is what I'm looking at so far:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/xsgtRBAMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core ProcessorMSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ MotherboardKingston Fury Red Series 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 MemorySapphire Radeon R9 270X 4GB Dual-X Video CardAnything in that lot which makes you think it's all horribly wrong? Going with an AMD processor because they seem to be much better bang for buck that Intel, and I don't want to spend TOO much. Radeon because I've currently got a Radeon, but if someone was to give a convincing alternative, I could be swayed.
I'm also wondering if this'll be the last desktop PC I ever build, given that these days there are tablets and phones and little boxes that connect to televisions and consoles and they all do pretty much what desktops do, in a much more populist way.
