I have a secondary system thats still usable but looking to at some power to it. Wondering whats the best way to put $150 give or take into and old system.
I use it for some gaming mostly, RTS or RPG (oblivion). Also general use and music and video encoding.
I have
XP Pro
MSI 939 MOBO
Athlon FX f-55
1.5 GB of DDR
x1900gt
500 Watt PSu
500Gb Sata HD
2x DVD-R
Thinking of leaving video card as only gaming will benefit from upgrade and wold probably need a new psu
So Heres what I found
Foxconn A7GM-S AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
AMD Athlon X2 BE-2400 Brisbane 2.3GHz Socket AM2 Dual-Core Processor Model ADH2400IAA5DO - OEM
OCZ S.O.E 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
plus $15 or a cpu cooler
For about 140 before $25 rebate
Thoughts?
Better Ideas?
