I am currently using a Dell Inspiron 546 PC that has an AM2+ motherboard. I have done everything I can to upgrade this PC as best I can.
It now has a 550w power supply, Radeon 5670, Phenom II X4 945 (Deneb), 8g DDR2 800 ram.
Even with those upgrades this PC has always been a bit sluggish.
My question is would I notice an improvement upgrading to an AM3+ motherboard and DDR3 ram keeping the same power supply, CPU and video card?
If not I might as well just forget that idea and build a totally new PC.
