Hi all basically I'm building a system for a friend out of old parts i have lying around it will be there 12 year old sons first computer . They will be chipping €150 but i already have everything i need  to make a complete system so im going to use the €150 on upgrades my only problem at the moment is deciding between a newer mobo and CPU or a much better graphics card . I have changed my mind about 100 times so far and i need some advice =) . I.ll list the parts i have and let you all do your thing

 

Cpu AMD Phenom II X4 965

Mobo Asrock 880G extreme 3

PSU bequiet L8 530W CM

CPU is fine altho that motherboard sucks for overclocking. Should be fine overally, get a better GPU first (you could pair it with something really overpowered if you wanted, like 7970 or 7950 or 7870xt).

depends what the kid is going to do with the pc (gaming im assuming)

i would upgrade the GPU

[Mixzzz]

Upgrade the GPU first since the CPU is still enough...

Upgrade the gpu to a 7870, i suspect if it's his first pc. He isn't suspecting beast performance. It should be fine like @Dravic said the cpu should be fine.
