I want to upgrade my CPU and GPU in my uncle's old pc.

yungkoolkid · Sep 28, 2014

I'm 14 years old and I've been saving for months but I only have $120
so what is the best cpu and gpu combo I can get for that? Please I need actual help not people
telling me to give up or that I should build my own. I can't afford it like I said
only have $120. Thank you.

Here are my current specs :

PC - eMachines ET1300-02

CPU - Athlon X2 4850e 2.5 GHz
Ram - 4 GB
Motherboard - Emachines MCP61PM-GM
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce G100 512 MB
Memory - 250 GB
PSU - 350 Watt

What is the exact PSU model you have there? If its a cheap 350W psu, theres not much you can do I'm afraid unless you are prepared to change that too.

Also what RAM do you currently have?

Yeah my older brother is buying me the Corsair CX430 PSU . The Ram is 4x1 DDR2-800 I don't know if that helps.

want the truth? keep saving your money. your power supply is too small to add a bigger graphics card. your motherboard won't support a real cpu upgrade. even if you could put a better cpu on it the graphics wouldn't be any better. $120 is nothing. you need 4-5 times that.
