    Upgrading components

    Thanks Tyrchlis greatly appreciate that. I bet that is awesome! Although i did not want to go with liquid cool, I am thinking Noctua NH-D15 SSO2 D-Type Premium CPU Cooler. I will make note of the Corsair ram and I will do more research on the G.Skill Trident Z RGB ram to be sure it will work...

    Upgrading components

    I compared the H270 and the i5 7500 and but I am still leaning towards the Z270 line. I may change the TUF Mark 1 to the Prime to save some, but I will do that when I gather the money to buy the components. When I get close to having enough I may lower the specs some to be up and running sooner...

    Upgrading components

    I never overclocked this system I have now although I was tempted to do so a few times. If I included the Noctua cooler then I would feel safer in doing so. I do plan to explore some other online games later this Fall so I have to consider that. This old game I am into now is just a pastime I...

I am going to have to do more research tomorrow on this because of the prices of some components like the video cards. I am still open for all suggestions so please post if you have any recommended parts...

    Upgrading components

    Thanks for the reply MARSTG Yes maybe some of the components are a bit overweight lol. I wanted something that would last me for 5-7 years i hope. I will check out the components you suggested and reply here. Maybe I will reduce the ram to 2x8 for now and see how that performs. I can always get...

    Advice on compatible parts

    Thanks for the replies. the i5 will be something to consider and ram for sure. I overlooked that but I am still leaning towards a i7 just because i plan to keep the upgrade for a long time also. I shall compare the prices of the i5 and i7 and see if its worth the extra money

    Advice on compatible parts

    Well it's been about 8 years now on my P5E3 Deluxe x38 dual core system so I figured it's living on borrowed time lol. So maybe now is a good time to check out new parts. I play a couple online games and also stream video from my computer to the 52" hdtv in living room.

    Advice on compatible parts

    Thanks for the reply Bartacus I shall have another look at the ram for sure. Maybe it is a good idea to check out lower profile ram. I will look at Corsair. I did go on G.Skill site and it shows the ram height to be 42+ mm and according to a youtube video on installation the Noctua got the space...

    Advice on compatible parts

    Thanks for the reply MARSTG, While I was waiting for a reply here I watched a youtube video and it showed how to lift the outside attached fans so to clear the memory sticks. Now that you mentioned it I will do more research on exactly which sticks can work with the Noctua NH-D15. I will also...
