Well for starters I built a budget PC (around 500 dollars USD) due to my current income capabilities and now that my income has increased slightly (mostly due to less expenses now) I wish to upgrade a tiny bit.
Current specs are :
Prrocessor
AMD Phenom X2 555 BE 3.2Ghz dual core. (99% sure I can't unlock the other two cores in it sadly)
Edit: L3 cache 6mb L2 cach 2x 512 kb
Motherboard
Msi 870a G-54 ( I see this motherboard is used by quite a lot of people but i'm not too sure how good it is compared to the new things out atm)
Ram
2x 2gb Dual Channel DDR3 Ram
Video Card
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (Overclocked to 900 mhz by 1350 mhz can go up to 1400 but It gets a little to hot for my comfort.)
PSU
500 watt Corsair
I don't believe I'm forgetting anything to important. I won't be running games over 1400-900 Res. A friend suggested to me that I get a Nividea card and use a program to set it as the main visual card and then an older card I have to just do the calculations but i'm not sure how that works or if an older card doing the calculations would work out in that. I don't particularly want to Crossfire due to my PSU maybe not being able to handle it as well as my processor possibly bottle necking it, as well as other simple concerns.
Any help on this will be appreciated
Thanks in advance Giant Bombers~ Deminos
