Systems about ~3 years old
CPU - Intel Xeon 3040 Conroe 1.86GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
MB - ASUS P5B-E LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
PSU - Silverstone 560W
GPU - ATI RADEON VGA SAPPHIRE 100176L X1950PRO
RAM - 2 gigs corsair i think
so I really just want to upgrade the cpu and gpu and buy 2 more gigs of ram
i need to upgrade because I can't keep up with the new games coming out
mainly want to run sc2 with no problems preferably all mid to high settings
right now i can only run it with all low setting and even then it chops when it gets messy
also dont want to spend too much money
I was thinking of buying
Intel Core2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale 2.93GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor LINK
No idea what is the best graphics card for the buck
Overall I'm looking to spend no more than $250 but can the wolfdale fit into my mobo?
