Upgrading my desktop PC
 
I have an Acer Aspire E380 desktop from 2006 that I have upgraded with new Corsair TX650 power supply and graphics card ASUS HD6570.
What I want is a new motherboard with CPU and memory.
Maybe even a new hard drive.

Here is the spec.:

Operating System
MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200
Windsor 90nm Technology
RAM
4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 200MHz (6-6-6-18)
Motherboard
Acer EM61SM/EM61PM (Socket M2)
Graphics
Samsung SyncMaster P2450 (1920x1080 @ 60Hz)
AMD Radeon HD 6570 (ASUSTeK Computer Inc)
Hard Drives
360GB Hitachi Hitachi SCSI Disk Device HDT725032VLA (ATA)
Optical Drives
HL-DT-ST DVD +-RW GSA-H21N ATA Device
Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio

I am a media user, not a gamer.
(But I'm not allowed to play loud music so I use headphones.:cry:)
What do you recommend?

On a wild hair I went looking for things for you yesterday and realized, I didn't have enough info. I saw just this fantastic motherboard/cpu setup but it was probably outside both our budgets to buy, coming in at around $1400 for the set for an 8 core cpu. My eyes and head like things my wallet can't afford. *grins*.

Your power supply is 650 watts. That means you will have to pay close attention when it comes to what vid card to use. You state you don't game so that throws out the biggest power eaters with the highest prices.

You can figure other than vid card and mother board that most components like HDs, dvd drives, and the like will add 25 watts roughly per unit to the draw on the power supply, as a rule of thumb.

Start out with a new case, if your Acer case is limited to Micro ATX motherboards it will limit your choices greatly... I believe your current mobo is Micro ATX...

Thanks
Yes I have a micro ATX mobo. (244x244 mm)
But my PC is integrated into my desk so I can not have a larger chassis.

Gee you guys are good, it give a DUH like me courage to make a new thread and ask for your help.

I had already received some help on the back up prob from DMan but its too high tech for me to understand, so I will start a new thread and hope to receive simplistic instructions on both probs from you all.

Thank you in advance......
