Hello as my computer is to shitty to run tf2 anymore I`m going to upgrade it.
I have about 400 eur spare but could maybe go higher.
I was thinking of changing my mother board, CPU, GPU and RAM
I also got a 440 watt Power supply

Thanks in advance!

I`d rather someone else do it i ll f things up and end up wasting my money :D

Mainboard S-1156 ASUS P7P55 LX (or something like this)

Procesor INTEL Core i5-760, 2,83GHz

RAM PATRIOT.DDR3 2x 2GB 1333MHZ SECTOR5 7-7-7-20 (I would recomend geting the 1600 MHz version though)

Palit GeForce GTS450 1024MB (would recomend geting something better)

it is a bit more: 470 euros on this site: http://www.sestavi.si/index.php

what difference does it make for you if its nvidia or amd in your pc, really.

Drivers. The control panel in particular, in this case.

slightly diff layout, and you have to go to a diff website to dl the drivers. thats all really.

I switched from gtx 275 to hd 5870 btw. not had any major probs with either.

any1 else?

I build this:

Cooler Master RS-500 “eXtreme Power Plus”

Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H

Intel® Core™ i5 660 3.33 Ghz

Kingston PC3-12800 “HyperX” KIT 4096 MB

Club 3D Radeon HD 5670 (5770 would cost 30 eur more, worth it?)

Would cost me 470 eur
If i`d take 8gb ram and 5770 it would cost 570 eur
just with the 5770 it would cost 520 eur which i think i will take considering that i can just buy another set of 4gb ram later when I get some spare cash, right?
