I guess I should elaborate a little, huh?

The processor on that is only a single core model, which is ok for browsing the internet and stuff, but awful for playing newer games.

The motherboard is an older socket AM2+ nForce model. Not too great either.

darbz1987, for future reference, just put the model numbers down. no need for EVERY SINGLE SPEC. we can look things up :) just makes posts a little easier to read and comment on.
 
^+1

It's a bit better, but it still has an old Asrock board. What's your budget for the CPU/Mobo? I can find a good one for you.
 
ok joh06937 yh i no its abit long :)

and my budget is around £100

and intel is what i want but not two botherd better specs for the price
 
^ You can actually do some mild gaming on the 785G's IGP. Nothing spectacular, but any Source game will run, and most of those will keep you occupied for weeks.
