Hello,

The pc of my parents is really old, but they don't want to spend a lot of money on it. So i looked and they had an old amd dual core. I thought about upgrading it to an amd 2200G with 4 gb ram and an ssd and hdd. The psu has 220W of power so i think it's enough for them, but it only has a 4pin instead of an 8pin cpu connector. Could this be a problem?

2200G doesnt mind a 4pin EPS connector supplying its power, but a PSU that old is a risk itself.

Might want to double check its still 24pin atx power and not 20pin, otherwise check the manual for the new motherboard and see if it'll run with only 1 cpu power
