Hey guys, i'm looking for some help.
I would like to upgrade my computer to a decent gaming pc. I'd like to run games released in 2013-2014, and hopefully even 2015+.
Games like Battlefield 4, Infamous : Second Son, Watch Dogs, all on medium-high settings.
Currently my pc can only run games like Resident Evil 6, Assassins creed III, Etc, on low settings. It shouldn't run at all, but my GPU makes it up for my lame ass CPU.
Alright, to the point :
I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+. Dual Core.
My motherboard is from Gigabyte Technology, an M55S-S3.
Both the Chipset and the Southbridge are from NVIDIA. Both nForce 550.
My Graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650. 1GB.
I have 4GB of memory, it's a DDR2.
At first a mate told me to just buy a gaming pc instead. But after looking at the prices, i'd rather upgrade it. I'm not new to computers and all that, but with so many new parts, and newer games requiring higher settings, I'll need some help upgrading.
I'm willing to spend 500-600$. I'd like to upgrade my CPU & GPU. I'm guessing i'll have to get a new motherboard too, because it's old as fuck and the newer CPUS probably won't work.
So yeah, lads, 500-600$, what can you awesome computer beasts recommend me?
Thanks in advance.
