Thanks

there's nothing wrong with his GPU though. He can play everything at 720P with a 1050ti. If he has has an AM3+ Socket, then he can get an 8350 or 8370. AM3+ are backwards compatible.


Wow, that's a real artifact of a computer (DDR2!) If I'm not mistaken the best CPU for that socket is the AMD Phenom 965 Quad Core (Vs Dual core) and it runs at 3.4Ghz vs 3.0.

Run it till it dies my friend. Because now's not the best time for upgrades unless you're doing it piecemeal Ram and GPU prices are ridiculous.
