Ok i need advice on what too do.

[choobert]

i recently bricked my motherboard

my budget is 150ish bucks.

i currently have a 2ghz dual core windsor 3800+ am2 socket
x1950 512mb pro ati
3 gigs of ddr2 800, 2x 1 gig 2x 512mb
windows 7 32bit


with my budget i found this mobo

with that mobo i can use my old ram which saves me money

i also found this cpu which scored about 700 higher then my current cpu

and lastly i found a really cheap video card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131338

i know that video card isnt meant for gaming, but could it be better then my current card because of how old it is?

with those 3 items i can stay in my budget. so my question is should i use my old video card or should i buy the cheap media one. i play games like wow league sc2, new games wouldn't hurt to play on low like skyrim

with my old gpu i can prolly afford a better cpu or maybe go for a newer mobo with dd3 ram.


or, should i keep my current cpu and buy a much better video card.


i game about 5+ hours a day.

and sorry if this is in the wrong section

Basically you need to upgrade your whole entire system if you want to get the best experience.

Cpu choice is good.
You can sell your old ddr2 on craigslist to make up the difference.
Also sell your old video card and get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102882

i am not really expecting the best experience nor did i state i could run it. i was merely was looking for some advice. what a rather useless comment you made.
