these long forgotten parts found in my mothers attic
intel core 2 q6600 2.4 ghz
gigabyte-- ga-ep35c-ds3r
zalman--hd-160 case
all where bought new unopened never used
im hoping to salvage any use out of these parts, if i could squeeze any useful life towards gaming purposes, any increase in performance over my laptop which has been problematic at best.
online im getting 5 fps. any mild increase in performance would be great i have looked at
memory: corsair XMS3 Series 4GB DDR3-1333. not much in the budget for new builds or if im just asking for heartbreak and should religate this to the wife's facebook and attempt to grind for new parts

Honest advice- Let them stay in your mother's attic. Or sell them on olx. These parts wont do for today's gaming.

yea i figured as much these where bought new in 07/08 and i looked at the price tags and smacked myself for never getting any use out of them.i bumped around the idea struggling with these till a could buy new components. ive seen now amd fx 6300 and mobo for under 200. bucks
