Hello everyone, so my motherboard is Jetway MI5-G41SGMD3-LF and I'm going to buy new PC parts to replace my current old and weak ones to make my PC better at gaming, my main focus is RAM, Graphics Card and CPU and my budget is around 200 USD to 150 USD (I'm going to buy mostly used parts).
My goal is to have at least 8GB of RAM and a decent graphics card and CPU that can at least play most recent video games, it doesn't have to be ultra graphics and I'm totally fine with putting everything on low.
So I was wondering about what kind of RAM should I get ? and what specific frequency ? also can I install just one stick of 8GB of RAM or do I have to install 2 4GB sticks ? is there anything else I need to know before buying RAM ?
I'm also wondering about what CPU should I have, currently I have Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700 and I'm totally fine with it since it can play most of the recent video games even it's not the best at it but I saw used CPUs for sale for a really good price and so I'm thinking of buying a better one than my current CPU, so which one of these CPUs are compatible with my motherboard and which one of them is the best :
