Hey everyone. Any idea what I could realistically get for this setup?

AMD Athlon X4 750K quad core 3.40ghz
corsair XMS3 4gb ddr3
radeon r7 250 1gb
LC power 420w power supply

CPU might be $50, RAM maybe 100-120, PSU whatever you can grab—maybe $17

If you ditch the case and the hard drive (assuming it's a SATA port), you could buy

Even if Madden NFL 14 isn't demanding right now, next-gen sports titles will probably hit PC in a year. With that build, you'll be set for sports games for a few years, and older titles should run fine too. It all comes down to how much cash you want to throw at it—you get what you pay for.

If you're a hardcore gamer, just buy a console. You'd be set for the whole generation. I just don't know how many games you'll actually be able to afford—will they even be crackable? 😬

So that's a decent price once you add it all up for a new machine $767, but hey, you get what you pay for...

I think a serious gamer wouldn't be worrying about the bare minimum spend, but rather the maximum they're willing to drop. I love gaming, but not more than I love existing.😁

I had an Xbox 360, but I got rid of it because I figured something new was coming and didn't want to sell it for peanuts later. I only picked it up once people started cracking the games.
Newer consoles might be cheaper than previous ones, but game prices are brutal. It’ll likely take a year or two before piracy becomes an option again.

CPU: Intel Pentium 64 X2 4800+ 2.50GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte M61P-S3
RAM: 2GB DDR2
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS
HDD: Hitachi HD725025VLA SCSI
Optical Drive: ATAPI DVD A DH20A3P ATA
PSU: iso-450pp 350W

What’s this worth?☕

😬

First off, what do you mean by your eyes stinging?
Could be an issue with the monitor? 😁

If you're looking to upgrade—what's your budget look like?
Look, this PC isn't anything special by today's standards. Is it even worth upgrading a CPU that fits that motherboard? You'd be hunting for used parts. If you stick with the current setup, would a better GPU even make sense? Adding more RAM would be smart too. Honestly, the best move is a new motherboard, CPU, GPU, and RAM. And grab a decent power supply while you're at it.

hm so how much do you think I could get for my rig if I sold it?
And if I'm buying something new that can actually run modern games, is it better to build a new PC or just grab a PS4 or an Xbox One?

Timothy Kim60 said:So what CPU are you running right now? And the power supply? Just pop the case open and look for the model number.

iso-450pp 350w

amd athlon(tm) 64 X2 dual core 4800+

I think I nailed the power supply model.😁

I’m a bit out of my element with this stuff, so I could use some help regarding an upgrade.
I just want to play Madden NFL 14 without my eyes burning after two matches, haha.
