Unless your older video card is actually decent then buying all those parts won't do you any good.

jjs0891 :

i actually have a good video card
my processor now is core2due 4200 2.4 GH
i think change is necessary

Could pick up a used Phenom II x4 955 or 965 and then a mobo with a 970 or preferably 990 chipset, possibly even a refurbished one. That should save some cash and will be a decent enough system for the next 2-3 years. I just did this for a relative and it worked out quite a bit cheaper than my original plan of a used i7 920.

logainofhades :

prices are a bit different in Egypt like the CPU fx 6300 here is about 130$ and CPU cooler is about 29$
also the case is not available at any shop

JOOK-D · Nov 15, 2013

Which video card do you currently have then?

midoes · Nov 15, 2013

JOOK-D :

msi radeon hd 5670

JOOK-D · Nov 15, 2013

midoes · Nov 15, 2013

JOOK-D :

midoes · Nov 16, 2013

any body can help

JOOK-D · Nov 16, 2013

The video card is still somewhat capable. Could do with an upgrade soon.

I'd say upgrade. Keep the Case, hard drive and the video card, and upgrade the rest of it.

chromex · Nov 16, 2013

5670 you could barely play on low lol

JOOK-D · Nov 16, 2013

chromex :

Depends on the game. It's capable for medium on quite a few.

chromex · Nov 16, 2013

lol pass us your crack pipe. its not even considered a gaming chip, and the fact you stated it as 'good' haha 20£ chip i say no more

JOOK-D · Nov 16, 2013

chromex :

I never said it was good. I said it was capable.

If you can spend $20-$30 more, then you should use the part list above

JOOK-D · Nov 16, 2013

sparkman3271 :

No. Avoid that CPU (FX 4130) like the plague. It's a bulldozer FX.

If you're planning to go FX only go with: 4300/4320/4350/6300/6350/8320/8350. Piledriver CPUs. Anything other than that is pretty bad because of its architecture.

Can't argue with the rest of it though.

sparkman3271 · Nov 16, 2013

Only thing is its like 70 bucks over the budget

JOOK-D · Nov 16, 2013

sparkman3271 :

Yeah it's better.

Could just leave the GPU out. He'll be alright with his for a while and better to save up for a good one than to spend more by taking baby-steps up.
