For starters, im not sure where this should go, it falls under both gaming and computers so its eh at best.
I have the need to replace mainly the CPU and motherboard for my current computer, but i am not sure if i can find said parts that would be compatible with my current pieces. I've run into the belief that i may have to replace the entire system to get what i want out of a system for gaming purposes. This being a system that can run current platform of games and games possibly within the next 2 years at a reasonable frame rate, with as little sacrifice on graphics if possible.
I've been playing the same game for 8 years on a computer that has run at best on a given day 10fps down to as low as 1fps, in extremely intense fights. PvP is basically impossible with my system and the only reason i can do anything is because I've gotten so use to low frames that it doesn't bother me, but i can tell the difference between 10 and 5 fps, it goes from somewhat responsive to just unplayable.
I have money issues so i need a system that can fall as low as possible in price without giving up too much, its hard to fall lower than low settings on every game you play so it should be easy.
I currently run a discontinued "acer aspire t180", the motherboard and cpu are the only stock parts left, I've replaced the video card with a 9800 gt, the power supply with a 500W(i forget what brand), replaced memory, but i believe I'll have to replace that with a new motherboard.
It was supposed to only be a temp system but things happened and it ended up being a 500$ system that some slime ball said would run any current game without a problem. Sadly at the time i was in a bind and couldn't ask the questions i should have before buying it.
If i could get any suggestions on either a new system entirely or just parts that will work with what i have already, I can build from the ground up if needed but if there's a decent already built system i wouldn't mind that either.
I'd like to range to be as low as possible but anything under 600$ would be awesome. Keeping in mind this is solely for gaming. ^^
