If you goal is to play Assassin's Creed (by which I assume you mean the recent ones like Valhalla) and other current AAA titles then expect to spend at least a thousand USD. That would be the minimum I can see being plausible any time in 2021 and that is assuming the current inflated prices drop a fair bit. I'd like to be wrong but I don't see the current inflated prices going down any more than that.

 

mainly the older ones like rogue and black flag

Open up your computer and see what board you have, maybe upgrade the cpu to a phenom ii x6 1035t, 1055t, or maybe go for phenom ii x4 940, 950, 960t or even 965t.

 

And maybe you can score a decent 890fx board

I guess you can try finding an old tahiti or kepler GPU and get a 550w PSU as an upgrade, but it'll still cost you $160-200?

Wouldn't really be worth throwing cash around for a high-end AM3 board.

Or not just get one of those asus m4a77 or m4a87 boards (or whatever variation you can find) buy a usb bios programmer like ch341a, then you can just take out the bios chip, put it on your bios programmer, and just flash your board to m4a77td pro or m4a87td evo, do this because it will give better overclocking results, did something similar with my p5q and it overclocks much better now.

 

You can do the same thing for asus lga 775 boards (too many to mention), lga 1156 boards (p55), lga 1366 (p6t, p8x58d)

A guy who barely knows how to search for the specs on his pc isn't gonna know how to flash his computer's bios chip with a programmer.

Lol i guess im just being an idiot, its pretty simple but im just too lazy to write a step by step for it xD

 

Yea the gains you get from bios modding is pretty big on these older asus boards, not sure about bios modding other manufacturers tho, maybe ill buy a gigabyte p45 and see if i can flash it to become a ep45 extreme or whatever that motherboard was called via afudos cause the stupid bios chip(s) are soldered
