Hello! A friend of mine wants to upgrade from his laptop to a reasonable PC without spending much. I have found a second hand PC with an "i5-2310" CPU(which technically can be upgraded) with an "Asrock P67 Pro" Mobo, 8GB RAM, AMD Sapphire Vapor-x Radeon R9 280x, 500GB HDD and 500W FSP PSU. If I am not mistaken this motherboard can support up to i7 3xxx series. I have found an "i7-3770" for $90 which I think is a pretty good offer.
What do you think? Is it good? Keep in mind he is coming from i5-4210M, GTX 840M and 4GB RAM.
