Hi there, I'm new, and I'm just wondering

[martinfan611]

Here is my current rig

AMD VISION Premium Barebone PC - MSI 785GM-P45 Motherboard, AMD Athlon II X4 630 Quad Core CPU, ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB, Cooler Master Elite 310 Mid-Tower Case, 350 Watt Power Supply
PNY Dual Channel 6144MB PC12800 DDR3 Memory - 1600MHz, 8-8-8-24, 3x2048MB
Western Digital WD10EARS Caviar Green Hard Drive - 3.5", SATA 3G, 1TB, 64MB Cache
LG WH10LS30 Super Multi Blu-ray Rewriter - BD-R 10X, BD-R DL 8X, BD-RE 2X, DVD+R/-R 16X, DVD-RAM 12X, CD-R 48X, CD-RW 24X, BD-ROM 10X, DVD-ROM 16X, CD-ROM 48X, SATA (OEM)
LOGITECH K120 KEYBOARD AND LOGITECH LX3 OPTICAL MOUSE
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Ok there it is, now I'd like to know, what upgrades would be good for $300-$400

New motherboard, processor, power supply and video card. What do you do with your computer? Do you play any type of demanding games?

For 400, you will probably only get a mobo, cpu, ram and new Windows key.

 

[johnb35]

What does he need new ram for? He already has 6gb of 1600mhz ram. And he'll only need a new key if he has the OEM version not the retail version.

 

[Okedokey]

Well, if he wants to run dual channel and use what he has (assuming he gets a 1155 board) he will need another module. Also, we're guessing at the status of Windows, but it should be highlighted in case he has to budget for it.

the 6gb is probably in a 2+2 and 1+1 configuration, i think it should run in dual in that way

Could be, but

None of it matters anyways until post #2 is answered and the TS provides more info.

It says 3 x 2048MB - pretty obvious its not anything else.

 

[Benny Boy]

Thats another way to put it.
