So my little brother has a mixed and matched computer of parts that people no longer wanted and parted ways with (I repair computers so I get these) now the problem is he wants an upgrade as his computer is seriously starting to struggle with newer games due to the weak athlon x4 that is in there.
Specs:
Random motherboard
Cm b600 psu
Athlon x4 640
2*4 gb ddr3 1600mhz
Random ssd and hdd
Random huge case
Hyper 212(original) cooler
Radeon hd 7950
He mainly plays overwatch, Guild wars 2, Battlefield 4,... but he wants to play some newer games and games like overwatch and gw2 to not dip down as much due to the huge cpu bottleneck
Problem is he has a limited budget and I found a Msi x58 Pro-e motherboard on ebay for 80 euro + shipping. I already have a i7 920, 950 and 970 (not sure which one still works I'll see when I get it) around and those would be a nice upgrade especially because that motherboard allows overclocking.
Is it worth the price or should I just let him save up a bit more? He has a budget of 150 euro at the moment.
