Hello.
First off I have a fairly old system but it still holds up pretty well with todays games, in fact I've never had a problem running any software but I've decided to upgrade a few things, namely the Motherboard, Memory and Graphics card and possibly the Processor if I can't find a decent board.
My Specs:
ASUS SK8N NVIDIA nForce3 Pro 150 Mainboard
AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 Processor
Nvidia Geforce FX5900 Ultra (256mb) Graphics Card (AGP)
2 Gig memory but haven't a clue what it is.
Now I am more than happy to keep the processor and upgrade the board to a PCI Express board and get a new card but are there any available?
I believe the FX-51 was socket 940 which was changed straight away after for the FX-52 and onwards.
So I'm looking for suggestions on a new board and Graphics card and whether you think I should keep my current processor or get a new one.
Ideally I would like to keep to a £300 budget but can go up to £500.
I'm not looking for the best just a decent enough upgrade.
Many Thanks for reading and answering.
