UPGRADING AN OLD PC

[Damyan]

So, the deal is that in my country pc parts are very expensive, and Im thinking of upgrading my old pc. I will put a new PSU and some more DDR2 ram, Im also thinking of adding a 270x but will my AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+ bottleneck it? 

[Quincy15]

DDR 2 wow that one old system.

 

I would not bother upgrading and save for a replacement

[GammaProX]

I think your cup might bottle neck on that gpu

[thenotoriousone]

Upgrade is not worth it. 

[Mohenjo]

its a cheap dual core AMD, i reccomend upgrading to something like a pentium or an athlon 860k and a new motherboard and getting a 750 ti

I know but only for a 270x and a 860k i have to spend a pit over 500 (only for GPU and CPU)

well for $600-$700 you can get a good gaming pic that runes every game on high 1080p and will last for a few years

No Throw away that PSU.

 

Buy your components from inside the EU, bound to be cheaper

Well a 860k costs 160, 750ti costs 280. So i dont know if that is cheap

OP, you might wanna try asking @don_svetlio for some help. 

[Fgtfv567]

At this point almost any computer using ddr2 should be repurposed and replaced

Re use ur harddrive and case if possible

Get 860k and 750ti and 4gb ram,another 4 in the future.

If you dont play cpu demanding games... the g3258 is really still a very good option..

Cheaping out on psu abit works.. just make sure it is from the right company...

If you can show me partlist of the shop i can help out

Yep save a bit of money because here in Balkan computer parts are expensive. Your power supply should be good enough.
