Any help greatly appreciated!
Im looking to upgrade my current PC preferably CPU/More Ram/SSD/GPU
I mainly surf the web, encode video with handbrake and burn movies to DVD with convert X to dvd. Plus I use server programs/apps for ios and android to access my video content on my pc. No gaming
Right now I'm running a phenom II x2 555 black edition overclocked to 3.9
on this board Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-UD2H AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
with this ram (and plan on adding 2 more of these)
Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM
and this HDD
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
What I PLAN to get:
I'm leaning towards the X4 965 since its easy to overclock and its only $90 at micro center. Micro Center - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Boxed Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX
and this SSD
Micro Center - OCZ Technology Vertex 3 SSD Series 90GB 2.5" Solid State Drive VTX3-25SAT3-90G
And this GPU
Micro Center - Zotac ZT-50604-10L Zotac NVIDIA GeForce 520 64-bit 1024MB GDDR3 PCIe 2.0 x16 Video Card ZT-50604-10L
Im also considering the i5-3570k it would cost me about $164 more that I really dont wanna spend. is the i5 overkill for what I would be doing?
