Upgrading my old dell inspiron 530

TheBr0wnMamba · Jun 26, 2013

I am planning to upgrade my old PC into a gaming PC to be able to run modern games in at least high settings possibly stream too. I am only a high school student so i don't have a lot of money i have these parts lying around and i am wondering will these do the job?
motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138370&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-AMD+Motherboards-_-N82E16813138370&gclid=COjY7ZaDgrgCFUye4AodXlEAoA
cpu - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113281&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Processors+-+Desktops-_-N82E16819113281&gclid=CMHh6ceBgrgCFcWZ4Aod_z0ATg
ram - samsung ddr3 ram 2x2 gb
Would an SSD also be able to be installed and would it help?
the computer is still in its original out of box state NEVER been upgraded...
I would like to thank you in advance for your help!

No they will not

1. You need a powerful video card to play on high
2. You would need to upgrade your power supply to support a powerful video card
3. The A8 would bottleneck the powerful video card
4. The ssd would only help with loading times, so not that useful in gaming

You can possibly purchase a 7750 and just drop it in your current computer (or with the a8) and enjoy whatever it can give you,
or just put in the A8 and see how that goes for you.

Heres a link to a 7750: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150663

That doesn't make sense on how it will bottle neck its an integrated GPU in a CPU with a compatible motherboard

TheBr0wnMamba :

The cpu is too weak to handle great video cards. It simply cannot keep up. As for the integrated one here are the benchmarks for it: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a10-5800k-a8-5600k-a6-5400k,3224-15.html

Games would run well if you play them at 1280x1024, or else they will struggle, especially on high.. So without a video card, you will not get what you want. Either pay up, or lower your expectations

Also you would need fast dd3 to benefit more from the apu's gpu!

No, the one you have will do fine.
