what currency?

additionally, if you can give model numbers of parts as there are many pentium cpu's from the ddr2 era and even more ATI cards with 500mb of vram which could be AGP, PCI or PCIe. if your gpu is agp then you'd have to upgrade that as well which would almost immediately run you over budget.

 

what I will say is that at 100 of whatever currency, you're unlikely to get anything as a serious improvement. your best bet would be to take a look at old office computers & the like that companies are replacing and see if you can score one from the DDR3 era with an Intel platform, and work from there. something LGA1155 or if you're really lucky, LGA1150 for the socket.

Well it is tr since in our area it is quite to expensive to get more for me over that budget since I dont work
