Upgrade

Well, as if here the weakest link completely does not allow modern games is the video card. you need to start with her.
further memory. I just do not understand how much it is. you need 8-16GB for modern games. on a hairdryer it seems like you can put an 8GB ceiling. if the memory is ddr2 and there is no such thing on sale - it's a deep ass and you can change the entire platform.
then everything is decided by the amount of money.
for good it is necessary to change all those card percent mother and memory. possibly bp depending on the video card. the rest is natural to leave.

There is no point in upgrading this system. And there is nothing to grade. Here a complete replacement shines for you.
I would start by replacing the mother / stone / memory. Then the block. Then vidyuhu. And if you have money, then all at once.

No more drugs ...
well, let's put the processor in the presence of 8GB, some games will still pull the truth on bad settings. but of course it makes sense to try to sharpen the current pitch and then of course.

I'm talking about what. The platform is dead, there is no point in investing in it

For which games? If for The Witcher 3, then you can use a Radeon 380 card, RAM a couple of 2x2 slats, and the CPU to overclock to 3.9GHz. If you have money, you can put 4x4 RAM

the memory was ddr3, 4 GB, here is this

thanks, it's a pity of course that there is no point in upgrading ..
as a last resort, if I understood correctly, the video card and the memory can still be updated (well, perhaps I would like to take another monitor, but I don’t know which one it will be for this config now, I would like it to be about 24 ")

Your platform is dead, except for some games from Yubiks and Arma lll. Change the card, add RAM and go ahead with the song. The main thing is that the mother allows the CPU frequency to increase

yes, I don’t play the most modern ones on it naturally .... of the most demanding, perhaps, Skyrim, Fallout 4, and maybe Fifa 15 to some extent. All of the above go very well at high settings.

Well, you can do, as I said, in The Witcher 3 at high FHD you can. Only disable Nvidia features

ps for this motherboard, by the way, I need it (the rest of the components are listed in the first post):

It's such a strange feeling when a computer, once assembled according to the latest requirements (relatively of course) and pulling all toys without straining - after a while people, without hesitation, call a hopelessly outdated metal ...

Life flies forward with cosmic speed , guys! :))

strange sensation arises only when you upgrade for the first time, then you get used to it and when you replace it, you just curse through your teeth because of the price of parts ...
7-8 years for a top-end PC is the limit, then it will be able to pull out anything on average at most, and even then it is unlikely.
therefore, in order not to bring it to this, just change / add something every 2-3 years and everything will be ok!

Ideally: switch to another socket and change the vidyahu to a newer one, increase the amount of RAM. If the next upgrade is planned not earlier than in 5 years and the money allows, then you can "swing" the assembly on one of the latest sockets: AM4 from AMD or 1151 from Intel, but at current prices you will have to pay a considerable amount. It will be cheaper if you choose socket 1150 or AM3 +: prices for spare parts are lower than for the latest platforms; you can not change the RAM, but just buy more; your percent. without any problems will stand on the mother with the AM3 + connector, which will allow you to make the upgrade step-by-step.

hmm, something I'm a little in difficulty again .... a respected person gave me a special opinion here that it might even be a weak place for me not to have a video card as a result of an upgrade (which is quite good by some estimates, for example, see here http://www.ixbt.com/video3/cayman-part2.shtml),
but the processor itself may be weak and it is better to change it to a more powerful one, with the motherboard together. The
processor is now worth

I'll try to figure out in practice what is more overloaded on new toys, if possible (there is not much experience in such matters ..)
