My computer is super slow.

I have an and sempron 145 processor, 12 GB of ram and a gtx 750ti 4gb. My computer isnt bad but I can barely watch YouTube and vant play games whatsoever. I dont know why.

 

[Barty1884]

That's a ~8 year old, single core CPU that was entry level even at launch. Add 8 years to that, it's not particularly capable at all.

Doesn't matter which GPU you have, or how much RAM..... the CPU is the issue here.

Is there a different cpu that I could get with my mobo

 

[Barty1884]

Probably. Depends on the motherboard you have. Do you know which model you have?

The Sempron is AM3, so theoretically any AM3 chip could be compatible,but it'll depend on the board

I have no idea, I just got this PC and I actually can get to Google. I'm on my phone rn

Sorry for the spam, a glitch or something.

 

[Barty1884]

ok, let's try to keep it to one response, not 16 :lol:

If you can't identify at a software level, can you physically inspect the board for a model number?

I found a thing that says honshu rev b on it

Looks to be an HP 6005 Pro.
Supports CPUs listed here:

Best would be the AMD Phenom II X4 B95

A very, very good step 'up' from the Sempron, but it would have to be cheap.

Thank you so much man! Found that cpu for 24$ on ebay! Will I be able to game you think? (Fortnite and some pubg?) I make videos and stream so I'm really worried haha

 

[Barty1884]

The CPU is really dated, so will struggle with modern titles. It'll give you a heck of a better chance than the Sempron, for sure..... but I wouldn't be confident with PUBG.... Fortnite is pretty light to run, so should be playable.

Streaming is probably off the table - gaming is likely going to eat up the vast majority of the resources available from that CPU.

Damn. I used an i3 2100 before, how does it compare?

 

[Barty1884]

The i3-2100 has the stronger single-core performance (which would be beneficial in gaming).
For tasks utilizing all cores/threads available, I expect they'd perform pretty similarly.

All I want is similar performance haha. Well thanks for all the help man, you have a great one! 😉
