Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'll definitely take a look at everything over the weekend and get back to you with what I am looking at purchasing.
Well, I've been doing some digging and here is what i came up with.
Core i3 530 2.93Ghz
Intel Tom Cove motherboard with 4x DDR3 1333Mhz, 6 sata2, 12 usb (6 via cable), PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 1 PCI, 8 channel sound and gigabit ethernet
2x 2GB trancend 1333Mhz memory modules
Seagate 1TB
All for about R3750.
That leaves R250. I suggest not cutting back on any of those and rather getting a bit extra to get yourself a decent case. Those could work you out from R300 - R500. Even more maybe but then again the Case is a personal option that I think you have to make yourself.
Anybody have any cases they would recommend?
I STILL haven't upgraded... (I keep on putting off the inevitable.)
I'm gonna compile a list soon (probably at the end of the week) of what I am planning on getting.
Can I count on a few comments? !huh
We'll comment as soon as you post your compiled list. At the end of which week were you gonna post it again?
Well the problem is that the difference between a 500gb and a 1tb is like R180. So I dont think you can really upgrade other things much. Rather go for the 1tb.
