I don't think I'd put any more money into this rig.....

I'd 'start' over with a DDR4 based rig...(*unless* you are perfectly content being limited to older 7-10 year old games from the CPU's era, of course, and can find a 'fire sale' on a GTX760, etc..)

Yes there will be a massive CPU limitation.

You should get a v2 xeon like I have. I7's cost too much money.

Xeon e3 1240 v2 was the most affordable I could find on eBay.

Pair that with a rx 580 or 590 or a gtx 1060 6gb for better results. If you are comfortable with an eBay gpu purchase then you could get a gtx 1070 and the CPU I mentioned for the same price as a new Vega 56.

That machine still has life in it.

Nor would I do that on that horrific power supply even with a better CPU.

For the record, the Magnum 250 "500W" only has "500W" power for the "peak," which is a useless number. It's a 250W PSU, but not even *really* a 250W PSU since it only has 216W of +12V power available.

I'm with the "start over" people. There was a time to start upgrading it piece-by-piece, but the window that made sense closed years ago. 2019 is many years too late for it to make sense to start upgrading budget parts from 2011.
