Hi everyone,
I'm looking for upgrade advice - I've filled in the recommended questions from the posting guide, keeping it short and simple.
----------------------------
Current machine:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad LGA775 Q6600 GO SLACR 2.40GHz Retail
Motherboard: Abit IP35 Pro XE
RAM: Corsair XMS2 4GB PC2-6400C5 DDR2 Dual Channel Kit, and Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel
PSU: Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK)
GPU: Gainward GeForce GTX 280 1024MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (XNE/TX280+T305-P651)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 250GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD2500AAKS), and an extra Western Digital 1TB
The case is an Antec case of some description, Midi sized, I think.
----------------------------
Upgrade budget
Ideally I want to suggest an affordable upgrade now, and then a second upgrade for next month perhaps. So $100-200 this month, $100-200 again the next month, or something like that.
OS: not required
Purchase date: over the coming fortnight (August 2017)
Location: United Kingdom
SLI or Crossfire: No
Parts Preferences: Intel, NVidia
Overclocking: No
Monitor resolution: 1920x1080
System Usage: Gaming (almost entirely)
Why upgrading
The machine is approx. 12 years old, and we want to TRY and make this machine capable of present-day games.
Target games:
League of Legends, Rocket League, maybe PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
I know the PC will play D3 and LoL, and probably Rocket League on lower settings. I guess the aim is being able to play the above comfortably, and to be able to play some newer games on reduced graphical settings.
Thanks!
