Looking to update my rig not only for Wii games but just because its about time that I got some of the new hardware.
Current ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cpu: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.60GHz (Dual core)
Ram 3GB DDR2-800mghz (Single channel)
Storage 160GB SATA2,
GPU NVIDIA GT 240 1g ddr5 version
OS Windows Vista 32 bit
Mobo Foxconn K8M890M2MB-RS2H Socket AM2
After some research it seems my CPU is considered obsolete. but to upgrade I need to replace the board wich means new ram also.
I will be salvaging the case, storage, Optical drive, power-supply (400w). with a budget of $150 usd (The less i spend the better)
p.s I will upgrading the graphic card in January so leave that out of the budget
any suggestions for a strong gaming/emulation platform around that budget.
Just throwing out some builds here
