Hey, im just upgrading, and i do need a newer processor (Mine is a pentium D now).

Anyone who can find a good processor for some simple black ops 1 on LOW.

I do got a GT610, 2GB of ram (im upgrading it soon to 4/6).

More about : processor gaming dollars

I was thinking 'bout AMD Athlon II X2 370.

This does not work like that.

A motherboard has a specific processor slot on which only a specific kind of processor can fit in

Example : Actual intel uses LGA 1150 which mean you need to match a LGA1150 Motherboard with a LGA 1150 CPU.

Tell us the complete name of your pentium and we will tell you what you can use in your motherboard,

50 dollars isnt going to cut it there are many other factors cant just go from intel to amd that would require new motherboard and ram

You're doing a motherboard also, right? You'd need to, to go to any other new CPUs.
For a current model budget cpu, it's hard to beat a pentium g3220... for around $59. They are faster than even high end amd CPUs in single threaded games. You'd also need a 1150 socket mobo, also $59 for a good budget one. You'd also need DDR3 ram that is supported on newer hardware, 2gb to start with for $25, then add another 2gb later.

Minimum to move to new hardware, looking at $160

What is your exact motherboard? It might take a core 2 duo or even a core 2 quad, both of which are pretty cheap on ebay and would play BO1 on low no problem

Need the exact model of the motherboard, sir. Also, your graphics card is too slow to play pretty much anything... so you are effectively looking at upgrading graphics card as well. In fact, it is quite possible that your CPU is not so much of an issue here, but the GPU. At the very least get Nvidia GT730 (64 bit version), or even better GTX 750 / 750 Ti.

Manufacturer Product SerialNumber Version
Dell Inc. 0HJ054 ..CN6986167C0FFA.


And, with that videocard, i do get 60fps on black ops 1, with medium, i didnt test high yet.
Minecraft runs at 40/50fps with all maxed, so the videocard is not my problem now.

That motherboard will not accept core 2 duo or quad, pentium D is the best it will take :(

New motherboard, case, ram...

I think your dell is a BTX case and all motherboards these days are ATX

Dimension 5150, and that ram does not really care now, the case either. First a CPU and motherboard (100$~?)

What country are you in?

Either get
-the Pentium G3258 and MSI H81M-P33 (or B85-G41), or
- Athlon X4 750k and a cheap x88 or x78 board

Well, maybe overclocking is the right thing to do now, and getting some budget (Now im on a very low one :p )

Hmm, maybe you would be best looking for a used PC on ebay. You should be able to find an ok core 2 duo or athlon x2 for under $100

Can anyone suggest me a motherboard + cpu (cheapest with more then 3.2ghz).
The motherboard must have some pci x16 slots.
