Its been three years since I'm using my pc now and over the time obviously the performance have decreased gradually. the config I've been using is nothing great and i don't really plan buying extreme high end components as I'm not much of a hardcore user. the old configuration of my pc is as follows
processor : intel pentium dual e5700 3.0ghz
motherboard: gigabyte ga-g41m-combo
ram: corsair: 4gb 800mhz ddr3
gpu: nvidia zotac gt520
HDD: segate 250gb hdd + 1tb wd green
PSU: corsair vs450
case: circle( no specific model name)
although this is pretty stone age as compared to toads standards but it handled everything that i use very efficiently. although it took hours to render a clip in FCP , it was still ok for me . but lately I've been facing some issues with some of the apps . as the apps are upgrading the requirement for resources are increasing so i was left with no choice but to go for an upgrade. i decided not to put lot of money and use most of the old parts from my pc so these is the new config of my pc.
processor :i3 3220
motherboard:ga-b75m-d3h
ram: corsair: kingston 4gb 1600mhz value ram
gpu: nvidia zotac gt520
HDD: segate 250gb hdd + 1tb wd green
PSU:corsair vs 450
case: zebronics guard
overview:
i3 3220:
yes i know hassle is already out there but personally i found ivy bridge much better for mackintosh support for the budget builds as finding the right hassle motherboard could be difficult. the core i3 3220 is a dual core processor with 4 threads clocked at 3.22 ghz . the performance is a lot better than any other dual core I've used. the cpu handles all the apps with an ease and gives no problem of any force close.
ga-b75m-d3h
the motherboard is best one for any budget mackintosh build as the setup becomes extremely simple. only change need to be made in bios is to change from IDE to AHCI. and the installation is carried out with an ease. also the audio and ethernet kext are present in multibeast so this becomes a definite yes for mackintosh. the board comes with 1 pcie 3.0 slot, hdmi,dvi,RGB, 4 DDR3 ram slots , 2 pci slots , 6sata ports out of which 2 are 6gbps, 2usb 3.0 ports and 4 usb 2.0 ports.
its not the cheapest board available but its definitely worth the money.
4gb kingston value ram
I decided to go for the value ram instead of hyper x as i wanted to save as much money as possible. the ram is clocked at 1600mhz which is fairly decent . there is no heat sync for the ram but can't expect anything more for this budget.
zebronics guard
zebronics guard is one of the cheapest case available in the market. although the cost is cheap but the exterior quality is excellent and anybody can be fooled to think its a high end case. the looks are similar to those of cooler master cabinet and its a good thing. however the interior if cabinet is not that good . the i/o shield gave me lot of issues while fixing it for the first time. but again can't expect anything better for that price.
and thats all of the new parts that i bought . rest of the things were fairly new so i decided not to change them. the performance I'm getting so far is excellent compared to my old system for obvious reason . the total cost of the system would be around 23000s which is good for budget users as the performance is not bad at all. well thats all for this build guys ill definitely upgrade my gnu next. if you want more build guide tutorials then please mention in the comment section bellow. don't forget to subscribe to cmreviews2394 on youtube. will be back with another tutorial soon until then cya later.
