Hi Everyone - I have an old Dell Dimension E521 and i am looking to essentially use it as a base for a new build, ie. new motherboard that can handle a quadcore or at least a powerful dual core. This is more of a project / fun rebuild for me and ideally could use for work which consists of using some trading software, large excel / word docs and lots of browsing pages and multiple monitors extended.
Of course trying to stay with the original power source of the E521, if possible.
Any guidance would be appreciated and if someone has suggestions for keeping the existing motherboard and knows a powerful CPU upgrade, Socket AM2 compatibility, i wouldn't be against taking that route either.
