Thank you very much to all of you!
My power supply is 500W, should be fine no?
My case, and hard drives are good.
This forum is great for the expertise you share. I think the recommendations for a new system for gaming are ideal. In my case, I did not need a gaming system, just a more faster, more reliable one. I also wanted to reuse as much as possible of my old machine and spend less, so I followed a different path which I will share with you.
I have an ancient system, an old HP M9300T from 2008 running windows 7/64. For many reasons, it needed an upgrade. I thought a lot about this, because I had a budget in mind and wanted to keep most of my old hardware for environmental reasons. I wanted a performance kicker at low cost. In short, here is what I did. I did 4 upgrades: I doubled RAM size, upped CPU speed, added an SSD for system software, and put in a much faster graphics card. I am extremely happy with the result.
I doubled memory size and dropped in a faster CPU. I had only 4gb memory, so I went to 8gb, the max for this motherboard. My motherboard is old with a 775 CPU socket and G33 chipset. After research, I found the fastest CPU that was known to work in this motherboard was a Xeon x5470. It is a 771 socket chip, so a couple of mods were needed to make it work. I used a small flex circuit adapter to convert the pinout from 771 to 775, and I nibbled the socket plastic keys off. Raw CPU performance is up 50%, and more memory makes Photoshop handle large images much faster. Memory cost $32, CPU plus adapter cost about $51.
I put my system software on a small SSD drive and left data on my original 750GB hard drive. My system is old, and it's on 24/7, so unfortunately I have had 2 hard drives fail and wanted a more reliable drive now. I used a small Intel 180GB SSD. I could have used a larger SSD, but I only had about 35GB of system software so this was adequate. I had to do a new install of all software on the SSD, and make the SSD have priority in BIOS Setup, but after some fiddling this worked amazingly well. I went from boot times of 3+ minutes to under 30 seconds, and all operations sped up. Cost was about $37 for this small SSD. I highly recommend this mod for any system - the speedup is dramatic.
My graphics card kept overheating and shutting down the system on very hot days, a known problem with the card (MSI GeForce 9500 GS). HP already replaced this once due to fan bearing failure problems. They did this for free even though my system was out of warranty, so I thank them for fixing a lemon. But the fan wore out again and I had to cobble a replacement fan. It kept overheating. PC Wizard said the GPU was very hot, over 110C, even on cool days. I decided to get a better graphics card, There are so many fantastic choices, but I had some constraints: size and power. My case is cramped with excess cabling, so a long graphics card would be awkward. I did not want to have to upgrade the Power Supply, so I had a limit for power. I decided to use a compact card with moderate power consumption, I settled on an NVidia 960 GTX. My heating problem was solved and the graphics performance is much better, much more than I actually need, Cost was $107.
I met my goals, to enhance performance, to minimize cost and to re-use much of the system. I'm pretty sure this would be a lousy gaming machine, but for my needs it's just fine.
