Well, since i have an old MSI mobo with a 915 Chipset, so yeah, i'm in a desparate need for an upgrade, but unfortunately i don't have the money to go for an all out rig, so i just need a small Mobo upgrade...i have a budget of around 50$()
here'what i'm getting for 50$ in exchange for my current specs of a local trusted dealer-
MOBO
ASUS M2N68-AM SE2 AM2+/AM2 NV Geforce 7025 / nForce 630a chipset AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131370
Processor
a Sempron 1250
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103189
Now i'm worried mainly about the Sempron not being able to handle very much, not that i put my PC through much anyway but is the 2.2 Ghz enough to handle casual gaming, i'm talking Pro evo and fifa titles and the occasional RPG or RTS.
The mobo has an onboard dedi, Nvidia 7025.
i'm happy with the board since it leaves me options to upgrade afterwards(Q- is the AM2/AM2+ outdated since the newer ones have an AM3 socket, since i heard the phenoms were backward compatible)
So in the end i'd like to ask will it give me more performance than my original setup (P4 prescott 3.06 Ghz, Intel 915 chipset 1.5 Gigs DDR2 ram)
Does the sempron have any overclocking possibilities?, and would the Nvidia be better than the Geforce 5200?or would i be better off with a G31(Graphics wise) mobo and a even crappier CPU?And forget what i said about the AM2/+ socket, i forgot that the chips were backward compatible). And will i be able to run Windows 7/Vista better than now on my current system?
(i know i ask a lot of questions but please help me out!)
Thanks
