My sister and her fiance have a pretty poor performing Compaq desktop, not sure the exact model number but it has this motherboard.
It has an Athlon II 170u 2.0Ghz processor with 1 stick of 2GB DDR3 1333 RAM. It struggles to play youtube videos and they want an upgrade. I was thinking of adding this RAM, this CPU, and this SSD
Just wondering if there is any compatibility issues, mainly with the SSD in an old system. With these upgrades their PC should be perfectly fine for everything they do(Internet browsing, office, etc...). Let me know what you think of this upgrade to their Compaq, if it is even worth upgrading, or just building them a new PC.
Thanks.
