Upgrading an potato pc?

[rdjisthebest]

My current specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate

Processor: AMD E-350D APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.60 GHz

RAM: Samsung DDR 4 GB (2.86 usable)

Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6310 Ghaphics

32-bit Operating System

PSU = pentium 4 atx2.03

So as you can see these specs are s**t for gaming right? So im thinking to buy parts i have 10,000 rupees budget for upgrade. So do you think
*parts im thinking to buy are*

Cpu: Core 2 Quad Q6600
Gpu: r7 240 2gd3 64b lp
4gb Ram
Motherboard: ASUS EX-A320M Gaming AMD Motherboard

Would be better or do these parts works together? And also do i have to change my Psu/Smpc too?
Games that i wanna play smoothly are Tomb Raider 2013, Spiderman web of shadows,Alan wake/AW American Nightmare and cod modern warfare 2. Thanks in advance
(Sorry for bad english)

If you're playing at 1280x720 and on lower graphics settngs, you should see playable framerates around 30 fps in most of those games.

Offhand, See if an i3-2100 and motherboard are within your budget. The i3-2100 is a bit better than the Q6600 in games, and you'll be able to upgrade it to something like an i7-2600k later.

Cheers!

With a 32 bit OS, you are limited in many ways. I would recommend upgrading to a 64 bit OS first, then worry about specs. Your specs look fine as of now.

Are you talking about his current system specs..the E-350D and HD 6310?

It was to my understanding that he was not planning on upgrading his hard drive.

 

[quilciri]

Sorry, I should clarify. While I agree getting to a 64 bit OS is a priority, games (at least AAA ones typically) can prioritize memory addressing to make optimum use of how much system/video memory the OS can see at one time. So he may be only able to use 3GB system and 1GB video (or some other combination), but it should be enough to feed the GPU and run those games at playable rates. But you are correct in that he should move to a 64-bit OS in the near future.

Man really? I cant even play any on my my pc all has massive lag

Well, to add onto this, it is to my understanding that a 32 bit OS can only make use of 3.5GB of RAM, that is why I clarified the 64 bit OS upgrade priority.

 

[quilciri]

You're pretty much correct. A 32 bit OS can address 4GB (2^32 bits). Some of that will be reserved, though the amount fluctuates.

The issue is, his current hardware is so underpowered, that doesn't matter as much. While memory bandwidth will be a bottleneck with his proposed system, the boost in CPU in GPU performance alone would make the games listed playable at low resolutions even with the memory restriction.

ASUS EX-A320M Gaming AMD Motherboard uses Socket AM4. A Core 2 Quad Q6600 does not fit that model motherboard.

 

[quilciri]

Good catch. Yes, you will need an LGA-775 motherboard for the core 2.

 

[rdjisthebest]

About bits i currently have 4 gb ram BUT!!! 2.86 usable. Upgrading 32 to 64 bit will decease 1 gb ram right? So i will just have 1.86 gb ram then :/ so whats the point?

 

[USAFRet]

So im thinking to buy parts i have 10,000 rupees budget for upgrade. So do you think
*parts im thinking to buy are*

Cpu: Core 2 Quad Q6600
Gpu: r7 240 2gd3 64b lp
4gb Ram
Motherboard: ASUS EX-A320M Gaming AMD Motherboard

That CPU and motherboard do not go together.
That GPU is not worth spending money on.

Will Intel Core i3-2100 Dual-Core Processor 3.1 GHz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80623I32100 support that asus motherboard?

No.
That is an AMD motherboard. It cannot use an Intel CPU. Ever.

 

[rdjisthebest]

Ok... so i give you guys 10,000 rupees tell me which parts should i buy in cpu, gpu and motherboard. And i dont wanna play any latest games so far just the 4 i mentioned above in lowest setting at smooth fps

Upgrading to a 64 bit OS will allow you to use all the memory you have. It doesn't decrease the useable memory at all.

Will Intel Core i3-2100 Dual-Core Processor 3.1 GHz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80623I32100 support that asus motherboard?

You will need an LGA 1151 motherboard for the i3-2100

10,000 Indian Rupee = $136 USD.
That buys you exactly one of those parts. Not all 3.
Maybe 2 of them, if you find them used somewhere.

 

[rdjisthebest]

So... how many money i have to spend exactly ?

Actually, there's a good chance he can find all of those parts for around 10,000 total. This is a good site for secondhand PC parts in india:

http://www.erodov.com/

 

[quilciri]

Here's a listing on that site for an i3-3220, an h61 motherboard, and 4GB DDr3 for 4,000 rupees total. The guy doesn't want to ship, so you probably can't get this one. I just wanted to show you can probably get what you're looking for within your budget.

[rdjisthebest]

Is these parts any good?
Processer: intel c2q q9400
Motherboard: zeb g31 lga 775
Graphics card: zotac gt 1030 2gb gddr5 lp

And how does all these cost?

 

[rdjisthebest]

Hey wait what about amd's arthlon 200ge? I heard it price is very low

 

[quilciri]

I don't know how much they'll be. You'll need to do some digging in the used market near you. If you want to do that on the site I linked, Go to bazaar -> classified's for sale.

 

[rdjisthebest]

How about i just change graphics to r7 240 2gd3 64b lp. For now? Maybe in future i will buy better motherboard and processer. I mean this card will be better and give me me better performance than my current trash right? One last question, if i put new card in this system will i able to put it in another M.board later? (Also this card gets in minimum req for tomb raider 2013)
