Old hardware compared to new?

[Everness]

Hi

 

So here's my current problem, i have a very weak PC which i intend to use for gaming as soon as i get a GPU (months, currently i have the IGPU and a HD 5450 lying around), but i know my CPU's (yes, 2) are weak for gaming, my budget is minimal and i have only 2 options

My actual PC is running a Athlon 5350, 8gb of kingston hyperx ram and a MSI AM1I, on the other part i have 8gb of ddr2 ram and a Q6600, but no motherboard

I know both of these options aren't optimal, but i really can't afford more, would it be better to buy a Asus AM1 motherboard and overclock the Athlon 5350, or buy a motherboard with a 775 socket and use the Q6600, i can't overclock with the 775 motherboard (the only one i can get is a server Tyan s5211g2nr-1u), but maybe i can use the bsel method and pray it works

Hopefully my next GPU in a few months will be either the GTX 750 Ti or a R7 360, i want to play at 1366x768 medium settings or higher and get at least 25 fps (not much, i'll be happy with that)

 

Thanks a lot and sorry for my horrible english.

Well, can u tell us the budget mate?

Q6600 and GTX750Ti, that'll get you 60fps in most games at 1366x768.

$70 US, $1000 ARS, currently a old server 775 and the Asus AM1 cost the same, like $60, that's why i say my budget is minimal

Forgot to say i have a Hyper 212 from an old pc

Even if overclocking the Q6600 doesn't work?

Actually yes go q6600 and Rx 460 if you can

Yep the q6600 is more powerful than the athlon 5350
