[QUOTE="Sleepingwiththefish, post: 1095116"] What graphics card you installed? For gaming the only option is Windows 10 for full DX12 support for current games, but that depends on what graphics card you have put on. If it's not really a dedicated gaming card and it can only run games at very low resolution, then a new faster CPU won't help much [U]for playing games[/U], not to speak you would probably need to replace PSU to feed a more power hungry new CPU/GPU. Obviously, a new i5/7 would give much more raw performance, that doesn't mean the computer will actually 'feel' faster. For the average daily usage (work stuff and internet), that would be a good 'fast enough' PC running Linux. Had setup Linux systems + SSD drives in quite a few old PCs and they gain a new life. Can't even tell that they have a very old and slow CPU. [/QUOTE]
