PC Specs: Motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-VM CPU: Core 2 Quad Q9400 RAM: 2x2GB DDR2 667MHz GPU: GT 630 2GB Storage: 2x 320GB HDD and 120GB SATA SSD PSU: 200W (Some garbage brand) I have been wanting to upgrade my computer recently because I'm having problems with my 4GB of RAM, as it doesn't cut it nowadays. My idea is to find a used motherboard that supports 16GB DDR3 RAM and my current processor, so I don't spend too much at once. In the future I plan to buy a new processor (probably an old i7) and pair it with a GTX 1050 ti or a RX 580, meaning I'll need a new PSU (I fear that this one will explode eventually) However, I have little to no knowledge in this era of hardware, and I'm looking for some help to find an upgrade path (Mainly MOBO suggestions). Budget: 1000 BRL, but if it passes I will still consider it. Country: Brazil Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly for simple 2D games, some competitive games (like CS:GO) and work use (MS Teams and browser use mainly). Other details: I have interest in overclocking both my GPU and CPU. My local market is kind of strange, so all the suggestions I get are useful, as availability of used old hardware is kinda bad.

apparently I can't do basic math oops. still, my ps4 reports 500mbps but that is probably calculation errors thanks for the help

It is definitely not a problem in reporting though, I downloaded a 74GB game in a hour and 10 minutes. Also, it is 400mbps higher, and I don't get those speeds on my computer or other devices on the network. I'm going to try to connect my computer directly to the main router and edit my post with the results, but I don't think my ISP is giving me free bandwidth, specially since in Brazil ISPs are garbage and expensive

I own 100mbps download/upload speeds via fibre optic cables. My network is setup in a way that the main router (my ISP one) is connected to another router in a Ethernet cable in bridge mode so I can have more Ethernet ports in total. My Playstation 4 was connected to the second router, which is in fact slower than my main one. However, recently I changed it so my PS4 was connected directly to the main router and I started to get 500mbps speeds in my PS4. Nothing changed on my computer, nor for anything else on my network, only the console. I'm not complaining, but I would like to understand it, as it seems very odd to me. Any ideas of what it could be? No, I did not buy more internet speed or use any tricks. I live in Brazil. UPDATE: I plugged in my computer directly to the main router and got around 200mbps. Still not what my PS4 managed to get but damn! Apparently I just can't calculate mbps correctly oops
