Hello. Today I received good and bad news. First things first. I have an old pc (2008-2009 era). CPU: E7500 stock
RAM: 2.5GB DDR2 (I asked a question earlier on TH and made an error when typing - it was ddr2 ram, not 3)
GPU: G31 Chipset Family
HDD: 160 GB
And I found out that I can sell this PC (150$ - a new 7500 (replaced the overclocked one), new RAM, new PSU, case, monitor) and receive a better one (E5800, 3GB DDR3, 9500GT 250GB HDD, new monitor) that's given by my uncle. So now comes the tricky part. I wanna know if this E5800 will be sufficient for the GPU and the 7500 would be overkill or the 7500 will be just good for a 9500. I know, also, that this is a PC far-far away from what the today games need, but can't afford more. I asked Game Debate and it said that the C2D is around 70% better than the pentium (or something like that). Should I change the CPU and sell the 5800 and continue using the 7500? Or the 5800 will be enough for such a week Graphics Card? I want to add that I want to play every DX10 game I can find (but not bigger than my future storage will allow), even on very low graphics (limited by GPU). Later I will add some 4 GB DDR3 ram, so the RAM won't be a problem. Can you help me?
