Looking for replacement Processor advice (and possibly Motherboard)

[sukihakoro]

Here are my current specs:

Operating System
Windows 10 Home 64-bit

CPU
AMD Athlon II X4 620
Propus 45nm Technology

RAM
4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 667MHz (9-9-9-24)

Motherboard
FOXCONN ALOE (CPU 1)

Graphics
NS28ED200NA14 (1360x768@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (ASUStek Computer Inc)

Storage
558GB Western Digital WDC WD6000HLHX-60JJP SCSI Disk Device (SATA)

I upgraded everything but the CPU and the motherboard about a year ago. The desktop has been slowly becoming unusable because the processor is going out, overloading the CPU and memory. I know how to switch out the parts and everything myself, but I get totally lost when I try to figure out part compatibility and generally have to ask someone else for which parts to get.

I'm hoping I don't have to replace the motherboard, but if it's necessary, I will do so.

I'm looking for parts that can work with a low budget. My computer used to handle gaming well with good FPS and graphics even with all of the old parts, so just about anything that is compatible and a (decent) upgrade will work for me.

Thanks!

your CPU and motherboard are almost 10 years old. at this point there is no point in replacing the CPU because the only athlons you could find would be used ones. you should look into a budget for a low cost intel pentium or AMD ryzen 3 build

Yeah I managed to make them last awhile, huh? Haha.

The processors you mentioned are right in my budget. These would work with my MB and I wouldn't have to upgrade?

No, you would need a CPU, Motherboard and RAM all at once

Maybe a R5 1600 ($155), B350 ($60), and 2x4GB DDR4 3000 ($70)

Definitely one of my worst nightmares, but I was kinda expecting to hear this given the age of my computer! I'll write down these parts and just buy them over time when I can afford them.

Thank you, it's appreciated!
