Update on an old PC(not really)

[quanleeee1512]

Uhm, what i have now is a foxconn 12535 motherboard which is an FCLGA1155

With a budget of $200, what i'm thinking of now is an i5 3470, 16gb of ddr3(1600MHz), asus gtx 760, and a CX 550w psu

All of these im willing to buy used but if anyone has any better recommendations please help me

P/S: i just graduated from middle-school so i don't know a lot about computers so please if anyone can help me, i would be thankful :))

You can get all that for $200? That's not bad actually. See if you can come down by $10 or something.

Would you consider getting a new platform and buying Ryzen?

Ok. I found a i5 3470 prebuilt for around $100, but you will need to buy another 12GB of ram to get 16GB. You can buy a 750ti for around $40, leaving you with $60 to spend on ram.

But the thing im afraid of is how to get windows 10 up and running on that motherboard cuz i’ve looked online and people said they didn’t support windows 7 and beyond for that motherboard but i found some links to some drivers. I was wondering if u could help me install those

All motherboards should support Windows 10, it just depends on the hard drive. It will work.
