So, my PC does need a little updating
It's a seven year old Dell Inspiron 530. All parts kept original except the 9500 GT. That was added in Jan. 2012. Before, it ran the crappy Intel HD Graphics.
Specs:
Intel Pentium E2140 Dual Core @1.6 GHz
1 GB (512 MB x 2) DDR2 RAM @667 MHz (even smartphones have more RAM)
Galaxy Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 1 GB DDR2
Foxconn G33 Chipset Motherboard
Seagate 250 GB 7200 RPM HDD
Some Chinese made 300 or 350W PSU
Pics (warning: there's quite a bit):
(Yes, it's still running Vista Home Basic)
(Also, yes, there's only one case fan but, the temps still somehow don't go over 40C. Don't know what they are under load though)
I was already planning on getting a new PC this summer so with the free GPU, I'll be able to get a better CPU and a PSU, since I heard this R9 290 requires a powerful PSU, something over 600W I guess.
