Upgrading old PC Help

Postby Amazing Cheese » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:59 pm

Hello All.

I've recently decided that I want to upgrade my old desktop PC which was purchased 3-4 years ago to play games, so I'm assuming practically everything is out of date. I've chosen a processor, GPU, motherboard, and RAM.
Wondering if this is a suitable set up.
Here's the links to each one:

HD 5770 Video Card - 1GB GDDR: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... CatId=3669

AMD Athlon II X4 640 Quad Core Processor - 3.00GHz: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... CatId=4919

ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboard:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... =A455-2886

Corsair XMS3 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 RAM:

Do I need a new power supply to? or anything else?

Thanks in advance ^^ :D

As long as your old psu is in the 500ish watt range it should be ok. The new series vid cards tend to be a little power hungry where everything else is pretty efficient.
