Making old pc able to play modern game titles.

siljanssen03 · Dec 18, 2017

Hello guys,
I have a computer from 2009 with:
Processor: Intel duo core 2 e8400.
Motherboard: gigabyte ga-ep43-ds3l
Gpu: Club 3D Radeon 3650 512MB DDR2
Ram: 5 GB
I am thinking to buy some new parts like a Gpu to make it able to play modern game titles, around 30 Fps or higher.
But I don't want it to cost more than 200 euro or 236 dollar.
So my question to you guys is: What should I buy to make this pc able to play those games, and should I buy them used so I can spare some money to buy more?
Thank you!

Nothing you can really do with that PC to play any modern AAA games.

You really need a new more up to date PC if that's what you want to do.

Should I buy a new motherboard with cpu, and a gpu then?
And if so, should I buy a new i3 processor or should I go for a cheap i5/i7 thats a bit older?

The problem is that with that budget you won't be able to build anything that will run AAA games.

You need everything, MB, RAM, CPU, Graphics card, PSU.

And that's a graphics card and CPU that will actually run the games and a quality PSU to power it all.

Thank you for the quick response, I know that I'm on a very tight budget, but I have some more money to buy things with. I am going to buy some parts that are cheap and fast. I spoke about this with a friend who has a i3 with a 1050ti and 8gb of ram that is able to run games like GTA V. For now I'll try buying a gpu first and, after that I am going to change my motherboard and cpu. Because I just want to see how it will work.

You system won't run anything like GTA V even with a GTX 1050Ti.

I would recommend starting with motherboard, CPU, ram and PSU to get the platform that CAN run the games then buy the GPU later.

I will try that than!

As least with that you will have a working system that could play some games with the intergraded graphics until you can get a graphics card.

That would be a newer i3, with MB, RAM and PSU.
