Hi guys,
Could you please help me out? Currently I have a very old PC Setup that I use for gaming, will plan to upgrade to a newer setup in the near future but I want to leave this PC for everyday tasks and also for my 6 year-old son who watches cartoons on Youtube and plays kid-friendly games like LEGO Batman or Rayman Legends.
This setup has a burnt out 9600 GSO 512 that I'm currently cooling with an external fan (crazy I know), and most games don't run that well anymore, here's the specs:
Core 2 Duo E4500 2.20 Ghz
Kingston DDR3 800 Mhz (2x2GB)
Seagate HDD 160 GB
Gigabyte LGA775 Motherboard (can't remember the model)
Asus 9600 GSO 512
Cooler Master PSU 450W (can't remember the model either, sorry)
The case is a generic one from my country (don't ask).
So I was thinking of buying an Sapphire HD 6670 DDR3 for this setup to replace the burnt GPU which is at $62 at one of my local shops.
Would this help out on getting some left over juice on my machine to keep gaming a bit more? Or would it bottleneck my CPU and should just look for another option similar to the 9600 GSO 512?
Please send me an honest solution and based on my previous comments, please do not send a "just buy another PC" comment since I already have a new setup in mind but it's not a top priority right now until later on.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
