I manage to sell these old pc of mine but the buyer is asking if he can upgrade it and how much can he up it.
He is asking for the highest possible upgrade.

Any recommendation?

your post is very confusing. I'm not sure if you forgot to add a link to the system specs or what.

please explain your system better and what you need advice on.

oh sorry about that.

I want to know if that MoBo can be upgraded and how much/far can i upgrade it.
The link is for quick reference to what is that MoBo is.

CPU: single core amd, i used to have a amd dual core but it broke/stop working so i used the one laying around as a replacement.
CPU Cooler: just the one that came w/ the 2core.
VCard: currently have Ge-Force GT 430
RAM: currently 3Gb(1Gb and 2Gb)
PSU: currently 750Wattz

USE:
Gaming,OC.

Is this alright?
Or did i miss something else?

well, I don't think they are making CPU's that fit that MB anymore. you would have to find one on the secondary market.

supported CPU's are the one that are for socket AM2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_64_microprocessors

for the current gaming builds the only parts that could be re-used is may your case, power supply and the HDD and ODD if they are SATA . the MB/CPU/RAM too slow for any gaming. The GPU is only good for low settings at very low resolutions.

best that could be done is a new CPU Athlon 64 4000+ (F3) (AM2) and add a new GPU. But even putting a $500 GPU in it won't let it game well, the CPU would bottle neck it.

G850 CPU $88
H61 MB with SATA6G USB 3.0 $70
2x4 GB of DDR3 1333 Mem $23
--------
$181+ your choice of GPU ($120-170) would make nice gaming rig

(probably would need to add Win 7/64 $99)

totally off topic question.

Can you give me a all intel gaming rig that can be OC.

All intel coz there's a certified intel distributor where i live in and they provide free check-ups and others for LIFE.

Hope you can help me out.

The budget would be $450.

just need the following.
CPU:
MoBo:
Case:
Power Supply:
HDD:
RAM:
VCard: Gonna leave this one for now coz i don't think the current budget would allow me to get any good ones.
