Hi guys, my PC is rather terrible and struggling to get a good FPS when playing games. At the moment I'm in process of decorating so I haven't got my desk set up so the only games I'm playing are Rust and CSS.

I'll post my specs i currently have, and just wanted some opinions on what components I would need for a more up to date gaming system.

Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.50GHz
RAM
4.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 398MHz (6-6-6-15)
Motherboard
ASRock G41M-VS3. (CPUSocket)
Graphics
512MB ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner)
Storage
596GB Western Digital WDC WD6400AAKS-22A7B2 ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives
ATAPI BD O DH4O1S ATA Device
ATAPI DVD A DH16AASH ATA Device
Audio

What's your PSU and wattage?

quad core intel or 8 core FX CPU will be the most helpful, then 8GB RAM, and a new GPU. Got a little cousin you can sell the current rig to? it will still play older games pretty good (2012 and before)

I have a OCZ ZS Series 650w.. I would be interested in selling this current rig if none of it will be useful to me when I upgrade so that's a possibility Beezy

aside from storage and optical drive i couldnt recommend bringing any old parts into the new build..the power supply might do but i generally recommend a new one for a new build...

Yeah i suppose the rest of it wouldn't be of use to me. You have any other means of contact Beezy? Steam / Jabber / Skype maybe we can talk some more
