Question Is Athlon 200GE worth replacing my current Setup?

[LeeXy41]

Hello. I am deciding to wither I keep my current setup or Upgrade to Athlon 200GE. Someone in discord said I should replace my current setup cause its old for todays gaming standard He recommended to me to replace with AMD Athlon 200ge since it has powerful IGPU and CPU plus I can put high-end gpu if I wanted too in the future.

So should I replace my current setup? or not? Please help.


Its my brother computer given to me when he was do gaming back in the day when Loki attacks New York.

Specs are:

Xeon e3 1230v2 (core i7 3770 equivalent but no IGPU)
Kingstone HyperX DDR3 1866Mhz 2x8GB
GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 MSI O.C
EDATA SSD 256gb
Toshiba HDD 1TB
Corsair PSU


Sorry for my bad English.

That's true to a point but throw a GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 ti on your current system for $100.00 or so and your still good for 90% of all games out there.
As far as that AMD um yeah I would pass.

The Athlon 200GE is a significant downgrade from your Ivy Bridge Xeon. A better GPU *might* be a way to get a boost in gaming, but I can't make any recommendation without knowing the *exact* PSU you're using. After all, it could be an entry-level like a Corsair VS or an old green-lettered Corsair CX, neither of which I would recommend for a GPU upgrade.

Sorry not being specific my brother computer PSU is CV550 it has the silver or grey color he said he upgraded the old evga 450 BR for future proofing but he ended up quitting on gaming in 2021.

I see, So I need to upgrade my GPU? how far can my cpu stretch until it will go GPU bottleneck as what they say.
