Budget (including currency): el cheapo
Country: US
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: any games that I can manage to run, will see if it can handle solid works better than my laptop
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Current components on my old Gateway DX4200-09 that I found in the attic, was wondering if I should just throw it away/sell, or if I should make it into a fun side project to see how much power I can push out of it.
CPU: 1.8GHz AMD Phenom 9100e Quad-Core
Memory: 4GB 8000MHz DDR2
Motherboard: 400627R
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
