Budget (including currency): cheaper the better but around £100 

Country: uk

 

So I gifted my old gaming pc to my little brother when I bought my new one. 
 

the system is nearly 8 years old and could do with some upgrades 

 

from memory the parts are 

AMD FX 6300 

ASUS m5a78 although that may be wrong 

hd 7700 

2x4gb ram (don’t know speed) 

and the other usuals which are all good enough. 
 

any advice on what older parts to look out for and what would be most beneficial to upgrade will be great
