Hey guys, first post on this forum, I've been looking at some threads and I'm liking what I'm seeing.
So, my dad graciously offered to get me whatever I wanted for Christmas, as long as it was at or beneath $150 in price.
Computer specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 OC'd to 3.078Ghz; V-core of 1.296 (My baby, I've had it since it's launch )
Cooler Master Hyper 101i
MSI G41M-E43 Motherboard, PCI-e 1.0, FSB of 342Mhz (the board won't go any higher than that)
4GB (2X2) DDR3 1066Mhz RAM, Running at 1094Mhz
Zotac GeForce GT520 1Gb Synergy Edition, OC'd to 1055 Mhz Core, 639Mhz Memory, 2110Mhz Shader
Reliable 500W PSU, been using it for a year now with no issues. Very highly rated model.
So, I was hoping to upgrade either the CPU, GPU, or both. I can't really save up any money or get a job to earn any money, so $150 is really all I have to work with. If I do end up going for a CPU + GPU upgrade, I'm pretty decent with OCing and I have the things I need to do so.
Thanks in advance!
