Just got a pc from my neighbors for free. It's an old junker.
>e7400 core 2 dual
>6GB ddr3 1033 ram(2x 2gb+2x1gb)
>gts 250 2gb
>640GB HDD
>650w psu
Is it worth it to upgrade to an x5450 and rx 470 for some light gaming? Might upgrade ram to 12gb too.
Is the x5450 enough for modern pc use and the occasional game?
> mfw it's better than my current desktop
that's not too bad
I wouldn't bother upgrading it if I were you though, may as well save the money for a proper build

What's your current desktop?
And what do you do with it?
>junker
It's better than my current computer dude.
Throw a GPU in it that isn't garbage and you got a decent computer.

>It's an old junker.
Except for the CPU that's better than mine.

Fucklot of random HDDs, 1.5 TB total
Core2duo E8500
4GB DDR2
9600GT 1GB
VERY light vidya (Deus Ex, CS:GO) and reverse engineering. It can run IDA and Win7 VM at the same time, so it's sort of enough.

Get out young fag.

It'll be 30 for the cpu, but looking at rx 470 prices I might go with a used 7950 instead.
With the cpu and gpu upgraded it'll be less than 200 aud, upgraded to x5450 and hd 7950. That should be plenty, yeah?
The mobo supports it, I checked.

Well my neighbors wanted to throw it out because they got a shiny new i7 6700 and their son thought this was a piece of shit because it couldn't run gta v.
I'd say it's still worth keeping, even if only as a facebook/htpc machine.

Dude are you in Sydney? I will literally donate you a gtx 260 if you're local

> Dude are you in Sydney?
Nope.

It's almost 10 years old, isn't it? That's like 2 or 3 lifetimes for a CPU?

Also btw, pro tip with these older core 2 processors. If you got stuck with a g41 chipset and can't oc for shit, overclock your pcie slot and you can oc your cpu more.
You should look for used deals, my friend got a HD6870 last year for 40 aud.
