Hello everyone,
I need your help to upgrade my mother's computer. What she has is an almost 15-year-old PC with I don't know exactly which motherboard but I know it uses DDR2 RAM.
So far here are the components I have:
- Asus P8P67LE motherboard
- ATI Radeon 4850
- 350 W power supply from Delta Electronics (Model # GPS-350 AB)
- Kingston Hyper X 8 GB RAM (DDR3)
- Samsung EVO 860 SSD
Building computers is not my hobby to say the least and the last one I built was 7 or 8 years ago. What I mean is, I've forgotten everything.
So in your opinion what other components do I need here? Can I use the CPU from the old DDR2 motherboard? Do I need a beefier power supply? Anything else? Oh and maybe a new video card, as the Asus motherboard only takes PCI Express if I remember correctly and I believe my video card is an older format (AGP)?
I'd like to keep costs as low as possible. This PC is used mostly for web browsing, music and movies, and MS Word.
Thank you!
