[sammiller]

it has a Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz cpu i will like to know is it worth upgrading it

and what is the best cpu i can upgrade to

 

[Guest]

Yes it's time to upgrade
specify your budget

Upgrading it will help, yes.
The best CPU you can get is this : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013DMTAW/?tag=pcpapi-20.
But it's probably out of your budget, and anyway, if you were to get that, you might as well just build a new PC with that money because it's not worth.
What is your budget ?

 

[AnEwG]

^ like he said you can get a decent build with the price of that processor

 

[sammiller]

i don't no much about computers i want to spend the minimum i can to have a a gaming computer to play counter strike and fifa BTW im from Australia

 

[AnEwG]

What is the minimum you can spend?

 

[sammiller]

400 to 700 the cheapest computer places in Australia are http://www.msy.com.au/ and http://www.itestate.com.au/ im asking for help cause i dont know much about computers

 

[sammiller]

i was thinking of going for the http://www.itestate.com.au/pages/product/pdt_product_detail.faces?BeanName=productDetailAction&pcode=28078 or http://www.itestate.com.au/pages/product/pdt_product_detail.faces?BeanName=productDetailAction&pcode=03995

I would go with the second one- the i5 rig- the i7 is stronger but the integrated graphics won't be any good for gaming. The i5 +R7 250 would be good for entry level gaming, although I think you can get a better gaming build for the same amount of money.

 

[sammiller]

AnEwG look at the Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4GHz LGA - 1150 at http://www.msy.com.au/SYSTEMS/INTELAMD-Pro1.pdf tell me what you thing after i show you one more

you thing i should go for the $699 computer save up around $200 and get a graphics card for it

 

[AnEwG]

If you are not planning on investing your money on a better build and instead you want a pre-built PC, you can go with i5+R7 250 you posted in your earlier post http://www.itestate.com.au/pages/product/pdt_product_detail.faces?BeanName=productDetailAction&pcode=03995. FIFA and Counterstrike are not graphically demanding to start with so I think you will be fine. But that will be a waste of good money I am telling you if that PC is mainly for gaming, You should be able to get a good gaming build with that money that will lasts for a longer time especially if you do not play demanding games.

[AnEwG]

He lives in Australia Try http://au.pcpartpicker.com/ instead
And I think he can afford a better rig so a FX chip or i-3 could be an option

[sammiller]

AnEwG im confused what should i do now

 

[AnEwG]

I don't understand really what you are saying. What do you mean by saving 1200$ and buying the same computer?

 

[sammiller]

AnEwG the last link you gave me the computr cost around $1200 thats why i said i save up $1200 if you dont mind can you tell me what is a good computer to invest in i dont no nothing about computer spes all i know is how to format a laptop

 

[AnEwG]

The last link I posted was for a site where you can search for PC components and find out how much they cost and make a build.
