I’m buying the Sapphire HD 4670 1GB DDR3 DVI VGA HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card, upgrading my RAM from 2GB to 3GB and buying a 20 inch LED monitor to run dual-monitors (19" + 20"). I’m also wanting to buy a new processor so I can hackintosh my computer.
I’m hoping to buy a processor around £100. Any suggestions? I’m a hardware noob but I’d like to learn.
Thanks in advance.
