Long story short, I am trying to upgrade and give this super old HP p6610f desktop some new life and give to my brother. He doesn't do any gaming and even if he does, it is super light like moba games. He mostly use it for office work. The specs for this PC is below and parts that I want to upgrade to is also below. Please advise.
Are the parts decent for an upgrade? The mobo has 4 dims but only support up to 4gb per dim. If you use more than 2 dims, the speed can only reach 1066 and if use 2 then 1333. Which is better?
Cpu: Athlon ll X4 635 2.9ghz
Ram: 4gb
Hdd: 750gb
Psu: 250w
I am trying to upgrade to
Cpu: phenom ii x4 955 3.2ghz ($20)
Ram: 16gb 1066mhz ($30)
Hdd: 256gb ssd ($30)
Gpu: gtx 730 ($30)
I am not sure if this psu can handle anything more than a gtx 730. I could try change the psu but I am not sure if this is standard size psu nor if this mobo requires some specific pin. Do I also need a different cooler?
