I want to upgrade my pc under very little budget, not too little but enough to make a difference in present performance

6)       peripherals : old acer keyboard, basic dell mouse

7)      Monitor : iball crystal 47 cm lcd display 60 hz (right now 70  hz somehow)

                                  this monitor doesn't have no display port or even a Hdmi port

8.     Power supply : Zebronics 450 W (its new)

 

As u can see its old or super duper old but it can run far cry 1 and ...... that's the only game that i ran

So here's the thing

a. I don't want to run Last of us on this thing and I don't see this thing doing that on any day, but at least csgo (maybe...)

b. Running youtube videos or videos on vlc at 1080p is a dream come true

c. I would not like to replace cpu or power supply but other than that every thing is fine

d. I would like to cut corners on almost everything

e. For reccemendations pls reccemond lower tier and middle tier things considering the price.

f. If you find something that you think may get some of interst then pls put its link(not just the name)

g. I am in India therefore I you see something then see if its on amazon.in

Cool cool, remember to @ or quote the person so they get a ping and know to respond

 

Let me break down your requirements, since some of them are either redundant or not possible.
 

a. Last of us is not on pc, so please change. Csgo will run on anything, so it’s a bad baseline.

b. Any relatively new computer will run youtube and vlc 4k 60fps.

c. You need to replace both cpu and psu, both are just too old.

d. Buy used, cutting corners new is either making a bomb or you’re better setting your money on fire for heat in the summer.

e-g. It’s difficult to make recommendations for a different market, especially when we’re not familiar with the currency. The best I others can do is recommend what we believe is the best components, and you taking that information and making the best monetary one.

I mean its all pretty much obsolete and needs replaced if you want to run anything modern.

 

If you want to run games from 2008-2012 or so, then stick a cheap graphics card in it. I would suggest something like a Quadro 2000 from ebay, as they are dirt cheap, single slot, need no external power, and while pretty slow compared with todays cards, they're a good bit quicker than what was modern in 2008.

 

If you want to play modern games, then you basically need to start from scratch and build a new PC, at which point we need a budget.

Thnx @Jumballi in India its rupees as a currency, as of today 1 dollar is 75 rupees

 

I Would like to have some recommendations from your side as to what can be upgraded

As far as Csgo is considered believe me for me it is a base line 

I am a student and so can't actually spend a lot and my parents are least interested in getting me something that can run morden titles 

Also I don't know why(being next to china) high-end stuff like graphic cards etc are quite expensive here

 

Thnx

P.S. I didn't know that Last of us not on PC and ya I would not mind to play original hitman etc

Heard @Aragorn- I would build one but clearly not in 2020

i know what I own is antique but wouldn't mind some great recommendations specifically for what my motherboard supports

 

Thanx If you'd search or not

If you can't build a new computer then I would do a cpu upgrade to a core2quad event tho you said you didn't want to.    Anything that is in the cpu list that you can find cheap ... maybe Q6600 or Q8200.  https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Gigabyte/GA-G31M-ES2L(rev._2.x).html

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/QTY-1x-INTEL-Core2-Quad-Q6600-CPU-2-40GHz-8MB-1066Mhz-LGA775-SLACR-SL9UM/133317230472?hash=item1f0a537f88:g:aJ8AAOSw-29ZWbwU

 

I would also go for that quatro 2000 suggested by @Aragorn- if you can get one cheap. 

 

Also an ssd as a boot drive, 240 gb at least so you can have a bit of space on it. 

 

Honestly I don't think it's worth investing a ton of money in that system but if you can extend it's life for under 100$ then it might be a good thing.
