Hello, I would need some help with my PC from 2005. I really suck at computers so I thought why not post here? My configuration is:
Mobo: dfi infinity nf570 m2/g
Cpu: amd athlon 64 x2 4200+
Gpu: winfast geforce 8500gt
Power supply: atx delux 450w p4

I thought of upgrading the cpu with a 64 x2 6000+. But my question is what gpu should I get? Again, i suck at computers and that stuff so please help. Sorry for eventual mistakes, not a native english speaker.

There is no real upgrade for that which would make a visible performance difference.
Any better performing GPU will be held back by the CPU.
Any CPU change will need a new CPU, motherboard, RAM, etc, etc. IOW, a whole new PC.
