I rock a Q9450, you're in much better standing than I am.

8GB of RAM, better cooling, and a new GPU and you're great. Shit I'd love to have a 2500k.

buy some thermal paste you mad man
and dust your case that shit is nasty

>>337894128
what's a good, relatively cheap GPU?

>>337894241
Give us a price range to work with.

>>337894326
250-350 dollars

good god throw it away. update your bios and get whatever the best vishera chip is you can support. drop in a r9 whatever and you're good to go.

>>337894427
I can easily get latest i5 6600K with that.

>>337894212
that's great and everything but I have bills to pay

>>337894427
The R9 390 might to be a good choice, 300 odd dollars. Outperforms the 970 in almost every way, also not a victim of the 3.5GB meme.
If you're the guy with the 2500k the CPU might be a bottleneck for some games, maybe consider buying something somewhat cheaper or getting a new CPU.

by smashing it

>>337894454
anon he said GPU

>>337894427
I second the R9 390

>>337894448

i don't know what any of that means

>>337893910
delete anything useful off it and use it as a dedicated porn machine. Then buy a new PC

thanks guys
what about cooling though? acquire thermal paste, clean the case, and then see if I should get a new fan as well?
