Hello,I need suggestions on upgrading my PC because my current build is like a decade old.
Here's the thing, I need to buy a motherboard and a processor between a 100$-160$ (10,000PKR-17,000PKR) range as i'm on a tight budget and can't spend more money,I don't care if it's new or used as long as it does my work.
My current specs are:
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce RX460 4GB
RAM: 4x2gb kingston 800mhz.
Processor: INTEL Core2Quad Q9400 2.67 Ghz (4cores)
Motherboard: Intel DQ45CB DDR2
PSU 450W don't know the model.

So,yeah as you can see I have a PRETTY much old build and want an upgrade,so any suggestions.

Note: I need a DDR3/DDR4 motherboard with atleast 4 sata ports and PCI Express 3.0 slot,and a processor with at least 4 cores.
I am basically going in the gaming field.
And one more thing,can you tell me which processor is better AMD or Intel.

Sorry for my bad English.

What about Pentium G4560 + B250 motherbaord + DDR4 RAM?
or the newer Pentim Gold G5400 + H310 motherboard + DDR4?
Those are the cheapest chips I'd suggest for gaming, but they're still not quad-core. Should be okay with your RX 460 though.

Thanks for replying,
I searched for ryzen 3 1200 and 1300x and the motherboard that you mentioned but its too much expensive in my country.
Both the processor and MoBo cost 150$ each,so cant buy these parts.
