Hi I am looking for advice on potential upgrade for my pc (mobo and proc/memory).
My current build is :
AMD Athlon II x2 4400+ 2.3ghz
MSI Micro ATX mb (don’t know the exact model of the top of my head but it only supports up to AM+2 socket and 2 slots for DDR 2 memory up to 4gb ram)
4gb Gskill DDR2 800mhz gaming memory
( I will attempt to sell these afterwards but I don’t see more than $50 in these…….)
Is there any viable and worthy solution where I could upgrade these 3 items for max $300 budget? Or should I just try to extend its life by buying an used Phenom x4?
I know the budget is tight but im still asking .
I am currently happy with my HD6870 and HAF 912 case/ power supply…..
Thank you.
