I Need Info

[MineBloxCoderYT]

Im looking to upgrade a friends pc, but its like, 2 years old, so it has a asus p5k-vm lga775 motherboard. the only info i have because i dont want to turn it on its so filthy. the only info i have is that the cpu is a lga775 intel core 2 duo and a 400 watt psu. it runs windows xp too! so i was going to upgrade it to windows 10, but the question is, can i swap out motherboards before i upgrade to windows 10? i dont know what to swap out with, but i do know this, i want to swap out motherboard, cpu, ram, add a gpu, and, if needed, swap psu. i will reply with my build plan.

Sounds a bit older than 2 years old, If you’re going to swap all of that out you may as well be building a whole new PC

What's his budget?

775 does not have all modern instruction sets on any CPU for it, if you for example want to play APEX or any Ubisoft game made to date it will not start... If its just for home computing and browsing it will done fine!

if you're serious, For your budget, I'd build this config :

 

Since the PC is from the 775 age, I would  Highly  Recommend getting a new PSU as well, don't want to be frying your new components imo. AND a new case, Because you might run into issues with the standoffs, shorting the Mobo and frying the PC again. Basically a whole new build is STRONGLY  Recommended.

sell off your old parts and use the money for an SSD.

not being rude here, but i said my friend's old pc is a 775.

MINE, is a AM4 socket.

like i said, specs are as followed

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Chh9n7

and i would like to get a new cpu, get a gpu that is over 4gb of vram. if needed, a new psu too. and im going to stay at my current 8gb of ram, so that will no longer be upgraded.

Updated budget: Max $350. Preferably NOT to reach 400.

this is my new pc upgrade
