Hi all,
I've got a 5 year old machine that has been performing admirably, but not being taxed too hard. I'd like to give it to my son for a bit of gaming - Team Fortress and Borderlands 2 are his games of choice.
Here are the specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 '920' 2.80GHz Quad Core
Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
4GB RAM Kingston DDR2 1066Mhz
Mainboard ASUS AM2+ M3A78-VM
I was thinking about throwing in an additional 2X2GB of RAM and a new GPU, although I'm not sure which GPU to go with? I was thinking the GTX 750Ti but I suspect it may be overkill for the machine?
Bonus question, is it worth attempting to overclock the CPU?
Thanks for the help.
