Hi, I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to upgrading my PC. I have an eMachines T5230 from about 8 years ago. I have upgraded it some and it runs games like Skyrim and such, but I am currently having a problem running newer games because my CPU is out of date. A friend suggested I buy a affordable i5 processor and compatible motherboard, but I get lost among all the choices and am not sure what would be right for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are my specs:
eMachines T5230
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+
2.31 GHz, 1GB of RAM (recently bought upgrade to 2GB)
NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT video card installed several years ago
