So this is my current rig. I havent touched this budget baby for almost over a year and a half, so when i booted her up and tried to play some games, i noticed she would crash and freeze. I found out my cpu was running at about 70 degrees C. Im thinking about upgrading the cpu anyway, but on a budget of about 120$ and keeping just about everything else ( so i need something that works with current motherboard). Also my HDMI port on the GTX isnt working anymore any idea why this might be? Should i just upgrade my video card along with CPU? Thanks for the help!!
