Thank you for all of your ideas ;) Now i have clearer idea on what to do to upgrade the pc to meet my ends. Thanks again guys! You guys are :rockout:

Oh noob me, my bad :laugh:

Yeah, $300 is maximum budget, i wish to spend less than that, which means lesser wattage gpu. plus, if possible, i intend to retain the psu. dont want the cloud of smoke :p EDIT: thank you for the update. so, no real problem using pcie 3 card in pcie 2 slot? okay then, that cleared up my mind =)

for reference, these are links of the board and psu. http://my.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2Plus/M4N78_SE/#specifications http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=5888 for the graphics part, i kinda like (either one of these gpus) radeon hd 7770 or geforce gtx 650. are they good...

That sound plausible as well. The board seems to support up to 125w model, though i am not so sure the coolermaster psu will still hold its own with 125w cpu. anyway, nice suggestion. games to come also seem to favour more cores. and, is athlon II X6 models any good? i've seen benches of...

Thank you for all of your replies. that is really helpful :) Okay, so basically, the system is rather old and not good enough to play games on 1080p (despite low details). older games may be fine. thats what i can draw from you guys comments. Still, i am short on budget. upgrading the...

Hi all, I have not post anything at TPU so far but I have a concern now, and I need experienced advice from others. I'm from Malaysia btw. I will buy a used desktop from my friend. It was cheap enough for whole set plus samsung monitor (MYR400 ~ around USD131). the specs are as in my...

i dont know much either...but it seems to me that your rig is good enough for very light gaming... maybe lacking in processing power?..well, as all i know, sempron is single core cpu & the weakest AMD cpu after all...:confused: i ever played cod4 on my bro's lappy, fitted with AMD turion...

955 is one hell of cpu indeed, 4cores full..:ohwell: go for it then..! and goodluck with the clock calibration on the SB710, i hope its stable. wish i could own one...:rolleyes:

i see that you're budget-conscious jw5749 :). well, imo with the specs that you've shown above, a standard am3 would suffice, BEs are meant for overclocking or o/c. if o/c is not on your mind, like i said, get a standard hi-clocked one. try phenom II x4 840! :rockout: its a decent all-rounder...

is this new amd apu has integrated gpu on die? like the intel i-series? hmmm...
