I am wanting to upgrade many pc parts, but i do not know very much about computer and need help!
I am currently wanting to upgrade my psu its the default one that came with my computer which is 250 watts. I have no idea what kind i need. I want to upgrade it to 450-500 watts and am looking for one cheaper than 50$.
Upgrading processor- I do not know which type of processor is needed. What is the best processor my motherboard can handle? Motherboard specs says this (Athlon 64 X2 with Dual Core technology up to 5600+ (up to 89 watt) is that really the best this can handle?
Last resort upgrading motherboard- If that is what i need to do to get better computer overall i am willing to buy one for no more than 70 bucks. I don't want to getting a wrong motherboard that wont fit my pc or support my hardware.
Please any question regarding my pc i will answer!
