Hello Guys,

Processor- Core 2 duo E6550

GPU- None

RAM- 2GB (600Mhz)

PSU- Dont Know exactly but maybe a old one nearly 250-300

Now what i want-

Mobo- Currently i dont want to upgrade my mobo ( Not enough money).

Processor- Core 2 Quad
But i am confuse regarding to the version i.e Q6600 or Q9400
Which one should i choose?

GPU- Zotac GT Geforce 710 2GB DDR5 Zone edition.

https://www.amazon.in/ZOTAC-GeForce%C2%AE-DDR5-ZONE-Graphics/dp/B06Y2NRB5S?tag=googinhydr18418-21

So, should i go with this or should i choose another one? If another one then which one?

And I am searching for 8GB RAM but not to expensive.

And suggest me some PSUs.

Go for Q9400, and R7 250,
For ram 4GB Kingston KVR1066D3N7/4G DS SAMSUNG K4B2G0846B HCF8 or 4GB Samsung M378B5273BH1-CF8 DS Samsung K4B2G0846B HCF8

My mobo has PCIE 1.0 so i dont think so R7 250 is going to support

Soo the same my has PCIE 1.X (second pc) G31M-S2l, and it works fine, and your is 2.0 it should be working fine. But im unsure will ram work, as i typed for ram up there try to search for same model, soo as it says in manual on RAM there should be chips on both side to be working. I had issues with upgrading from 4 to 8GB maybe because of RAM. Anyone else here experienced should help you further.

I'd say a Q9400 is good enough. You could pick something faster from the CPU support list but I don't see the point. I'd put two sticks of 4gb DDR3 1333 in there, that gives you the max of 8gb for the motherboard and in dual channel.

For the videocard, pci-ex is backwards compatible so 2.0 works in a 1.0 slot. The GT 710 is okay if all you want is basic integrated graphics functionality. If even low demanding gaming is the goal, you'll need something better. AMD HD 7750 and 7770 later became the 250 and 250x, as a frame of reference. Something like the GTX 650 Ti would get you there from the Nvidia side.

Of the Nvidia 7xx series, the DDR5 version of the GT 730 is the least you should get.
