[SOLVED] Compatibilty and budget Pc with ASRock G41C-GS?

[FrancoDV75]

Hi, good evening,.
I am quite new to the Pc world, and i´ve been looking to start a new project. _
I have a really old Pc, from like 10 years ago, that has the next specs:
Mobo: ASRock G41C-GS
CPU: Core 2 Duo E4700
Ram: Right now 2 Gb of DDR3 but it can go up to 8 DDR3, which i plan to do.
1 x Pci E 16 V2.0
450 Wh generic power supply
I was wondering, what type of processors would best fit for this rig,
I´ve looked and found people recommending an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3ghz 4mb 1333mhz Sla9u 775, as the best upgrade.
Also, huge question.
Can al LGA 775 processors use DDR3 Ram? My mobo accepts it but i was wondering wether there is some CPU limitations when it comes to the type of ram.
Also, i have no clue about GPUs, i know that the PCIe 16 is suitable for many GPUs but really don´t know what would be the best option.
I don´t want to run Doom Eternal 4k 120 fps. But i truly want to know what is the best that can be done with a starting budget of a 100 dollars, and if it can be headed to be a low to middle gaming PC.
Thanks!

Some MB back then required Low density x64 RAM. Go to crucuial .com and see what they sell for that. x128 is high density "AMD" RAM and is cheaper but may not work.
For a budget build an E7500 with a BSEL tapemod will get you a 3.67GHz 2 core for $5.

With an 8GB RAMlimit I like the GTX1060 3GB. But with that budget maybe an older 256bit 2 GB card like some of the R9-2xx will work for you. Look around in the GPU hierarchy chart legacy section to see what will actually perform.
I'm running a Dell Optiplex 380 8GB DDR3 1066 with an X5470 Xeon and GTX1060 3GB and it runs just fine.
