HP G3660D Gaming Upgrade

[kehncristobal]

I got an old HP Pavillion G3660D with stock processor and no videocard.

Now, i am planning to upgrade it for medium-high gaming specs. The mobo, i think, has 775 socket.

What is the best upgrade i could put in for gaming purposes?

You cant get medium-high gaming specs from a 10 year old computer. you can get low-medium and that is it because the CPU is going to bottleneck hard, and the board's bus is even a limitation.

At best you can put a GTX 750 ti in it which will be good for low-medium graphics on that rig.

If you are talking about 720p resolution then you might be able to get high settings in non CPU intensive games from a few years ago.

Medium to High gaming? Your system is too old for that. What resolution would you be gaming at?

You need to provide the detailed specs to see how much we can help.

Recently, I upgraded my CPU with Intel Xeon E5450 3.0Ghz, added a AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 and 2 x 2gb DDR2 Ram. All are alright and now I am planning to upgrade my GPU to GTX1050. Is this worth it? Will I get a noticeable increase in FPS? Will it bottleneck by the CPU? Also I want to know which motherboard is BEST for e5450 for overclocking to 3.6 - 4.0ghz. I am looking to P45 but I am not really sure.

Thank you so much for the input.
