Mga master, need your help on this one. I'm quiet confuse on the compatibility issues.
I'm trying to setup my old PC.

Current specs...
Motherboard: ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 version 3.0
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced 4GB PC2-6400
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430


The question now is...

I wanna keep these:
Motherboard: ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 version 3.0
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced PC2-6400

And wants to upgrade these:
Processor: ?
GPU: ?
PSU: ?

No issues on budget.
I need your expertise on hardware.

Thanks in advance mga master.

i guess he just need the highest possible set up nga pwede sa iya existing mobo and ram

CPU: since ur board is AM2+, it can support AM3... you can go for Phenom II X4.. your mobo can very well support it... but not X6.
GPU: as for GPU, it has independent memory interface... you can even go for 256-bit DDR5 gpus like HD6790 or higher. AMD + ATI= perfect compatibility
PSU: Silverstone 500w or a bit higher... you can also have Cougars or any other branded PSUs...

TS, forgive me for being blunt but if no issues ka sa budget, palit nalang og bag-o tanan kaysa sa i keep nimo ang current components yet limited ka sa upgrade options and may possible compatibility issues pa... also bottleneck somewhere/somehow...

just my 2 cents...

Its ok bro...
I have a rig naman bro.This old PC is for my 3 year old son. Bale PC niya until he gets to an age na mamili na cya and mo setup na cya for his own. And by then these specs would be ancient na for him.
You know how technology goes... Hehehe
