I've got an old PC that been sitting collecting dust and I'd like to set it up as a second computer for web browsing and watching netflix etc., nothing too demanding.
Motherboard: gigabyte g31m es2l
Cpu: pentium e2160
2gb ram
no video card
150w psu
I'm able to watch some 720p video but cpu usage is pegged at 100% and it stutters. Would upgrading to something like an e8600 and adding 2gb of ram be enough for watching hd video?
I'm hesitant to add a video card because of the weak psu.
Thanks
