low budget but upgrade PC?!

I have an E6750 processor if TS wants to buy a 2nd hand proc. But honestly I rather he completely overhaul the system.

My mobo can only support up to core 2 duo or extreme. Haha limited choice but just wanna match it up with my graphics card just for now..

I agree that an overhaul is a better solution.


CPU support:
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Socket 775 - Intel 945GC - GA-945GCM-S2L (rev. 1.0)

Note that running the FSB at 1333MHz require overclocking.

I can't find any E7X00 processors. Found one that was model 6400. Specs are as follow: 3 cores,L2 Cache 2mb,
2.13Ghz, 64 bit, 65nm Lithography. Was for $40. How about this?

Please don't waste time. If you can't afford a full overhaul just save up and wait a little longer. Whatever $$$ you spend now will not give you a significant upgrade nor is it worth the time.

I think a P4 to E8400 would be a significant upgrade. Yes it would be far behind current gen stuff and it's not worth it normally. I'm also planning to rebuild my E7200 based com haha.

But then, the TS sounds like he is going overseas for dunno how long, so it MIGHT make a little bit of sense to just stop at say $80. Very hard to get any combo new for less than $200 because cannot reuse RAM. 2nd hand sandy/ivy parts don't look very budget friendly too.
