Hi Guys,

I've been out of the IT game for almost 10 years now... last computer I built myself was around 2009/2010. I've got a Gigabyte M85M-US2H motherboard (rev A2) with an Athlon 2 X2 250 cpu and 4gb of DDR2 RAM.

Basically I want to upgrade the CPU and RAM and I'd like to know what's the best CPU and RAM I can put into this thing... I'm afraid I know virtually nothing about hardware these days.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Salad

Hi Werner,

Thanks for this - sounds like a very sensible solution. Let's say £150-£200 for the board and ram?

Cheers,
