So my friend needs to upgrade his computer and I already have an okay graphics card, mobo, and CPU w/ cooler. However the RAM is only DDR2 and wont work with the mobo, also the power supply more than likely wont be sufficient. The computer he has is a Dell Inspiron 530, if I missed out on needing to upgrade any other parts please let me know.

Can you list all the parts of the current build please? Give a budget for upgrades? And what res are games going to be played at?

 

Parts

=======

 

-Amd FX-4130

-GTX 560

-AsRock 970 extreme3 R2.0

 

Budget of around $220

 

 

And the most demanding game will probably be GTA V

Parts

Money is better off saved for a future completely new gaming rig

maybe get an SSD, unless you want an i5 4460 + H97 board, although a 4130 is only going to bottleneck you in certain games

CPU is pretty much the same as the A8 here

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
