Upgrading to an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 would be the best thing to do without building a whole new PC.

Other than buy a SSD there really isn't much juice you can squeeze out of such an old system.

I know you said not to but you should really start saving up for a new rig.

Welp,i guess there is no help to it....
Considering saving for a whole new rig would take a  lot of time i will probably do it in 3 steps
-Buy cpu mbo and ram

-Gpu

-ssd,new psu and case

What order would you suggest and any tips for good,but not too expensive components

Cheapest Motherboard available, updating Bios ain't much of a trouble really, if he wants the commodity though and can afford it, he can have the b250.

That's a good price for a Q6600, also consider buying an SSD as well.
