Guys im trying to figure out which is the best way to spend 150€ to upgrade my old pc.Im using an intel core 2 duo e7500 with a radeon hd 5750 gpu.
I want to keep the same motherboard (Asus p5n) to decrease the cost of my upgrade so I think that the best cpu and gpu for me is intel core 2 duo e8600(30€) and rx 460(110€).
Will be a considerable upgrade?
Am I going to face problems?
What do u think? :)

I'd also recommend a 4-core CPU if you insist on upgrading. However, at this point I would not recommend trying to at all. I'd save the money towards a platform overhaul. The actual gains in performance nearing the end of '16 wouldn't be worth it. I gave my brother a Core 2 system with a Q6600 and P5Q-Deluxe in it years back for Christmas. Even with an SSD upgrade recently, it runs at a snails pace compared to modern platforms.
