My girlfriend has an old computer that she brought over when she moved in with me. Its an old Dell Inspiron 537s. She wanted to throw it away, but I asked her not to. I wanted to use it for a super low budget gaming PC build. This will be a guest PC for when friends or family are over.
So, my question is if it would be worth to upgrade the CPU from the Intel Core 2 Duo E5200 to the Intel Core 2 Quad 9650, both LGA 775. And no I do not want to go overboard with the 771 Xeon mod thing. I will be pairing this with a low budget GPU, RX 470, RX 460, or GTX 1050, and a 250 or 500GB SSD plus Windows 10 upgrade.
Also how much should I pay for this CPU? I've seen it go for around $50. Thanks
