New setup with old parts
Last response: in Systems
Hey,
right now i got a Core 2 6320, GeForce 9800GT and 3GB DDR2 on Asus board. Ive been on this setup for a long time now and its time to upgrade. I want a new CPU (Quad core) so i know i would need to change the board and get some DDR3 but ill stay with my 9800GT, case and power supply. I was looking on tigerdirect.ca/newegg.ca . i Found one that seems good for the price

I dont game so much. Starcraft 2, LoL and D3. Mainly for web surfing and music. Budget arround 200$

not that great actually.
the cost isn't horrible, but the Athloon II 640 isn't that much of a step up froma core 2 duo, and a single stick of DDR3 won't perform as well. for your CA$200 budget:
