Upgrades for old pc?

[Guest]

(from Australia)
I want to play games like GTA 5 and Blade and Soul on medium - low.

I want at least 2x4 gb of ram.
Better cpu.
A gpu.
1tb hard drive.

Please make it as cheap as possible.

Everything is good, but the processor and the motherboard. For about the same price i can put in a pretty good AMD quad core and an ok mainboard. If you want, i can do that for you and see how you like it.

LGA 775? (If yes, please make as cheap as possible)
If you could make a intel one, that would really help.

I can make you an intel one, but you would have to save up a bit more, intel is substantially pricier than AMD.

Yeah, I don't mind.

If you got the other PC a cheap DDR3 mainboard with LGA775 socket you can use somewhat modern tech with your old PC and use it for VERY minor gaming as well as web browsing.

The Cpu is cheap and will definently do better than the other one. If I use a R7 360 on it, I can always put it in another pc. That said, ram will help it move a bit faster.

Yes, indeed. The CPU is 3.5 Gigahertz, compared to the 2.8 of your last one, it is also a quad core, which means it is a total of 8.4 Gigahertz (counting all of the cores) faster for multi-threading and Hyper-threading.

I didn't mean connecting them together...

I know, you cant do that without a motherboard that supports two sockets. I meant that it was that much faster for thread able tasks than your old one.
