Hey everyone. My Xbox 360 died and I was browsing the builds on /r/pcmasterrace. I was looking at their 'Media Elite' build here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/wiki/builds#wiki_the_media_elite
I was wondering if it would be possible to upgrade my desktop PC to a lower tier gaming PC to replace my XBOX 360. That way I could use my PC as a stopgap until it's time to buy a new computer; and at that time I could buy a proper gaming PC.
The specs for my PC are:
Motherboard: MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard See details here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130241
RAM: rendition (2GBx1, 1GBx1) DDR2 800mhz pc6400 memory
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 AM2 4200 + 2.2 GHZ processor
Power Supply: Allied 350W ATX Power Supply
Case: mini -Tower mATX Chassis
My plan was to increase the amount of Ram to 4 GB, and add a: Asus Radeon R7 250 1GB Video Card. Would this system be equivalent to the 'Media Elite' build referenced above? Also would my my motherboard support this card? And would this card be able to fit in my case? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
