    Help for modifying CPU
    « on: May 04, 2017, 09:50:09 PM »
    Hi, I have an old CPU that had been store in my room since 2010. This is a very old CPU so I bought a GTX 1050ti graphic card for it. But I don't know what need to be upgrade for a gaming desktop (GTA V, Rainbow Six Siege) and I have limited budget. I got a 500W PSU. This is the spec of my CPU:

    Your motherboard can support up to 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Something like the i7 3770K looks like the top end of what it could support. Looks l ike that can be had for about $400 on eBay, Though it might be worth instead putting that towards a new build instead.

      Thanks for the reply, but I have limited budget to buy a processor. If I still using my own processor would it be any problem playing those games?

      Well that CPU doesn't meet the minimum requirements so I doubt it would work particularly well.
