honest opinion.. sell it as a piece of history and get a new one... that's a first gen i3 which is basically a dual core with 4 threads...
ram... 8 gig would do but again cpu is in much need of help..
and video is *** haven't seen an 8800 in a long time lol
this system is 6 years old roughly give or take a year.... its time to upgrade to a newer generation...
but assuming board supports it.. atleast 8 gig DDR3 1333MHZ
video... gtx1060/ 960 or such .. should work more then adequate .
solid state drive would help greatly..
and cpu I'm not to familiar with what was supported on this board..
but cost of parts if can find might be more then just replacing with a better system.. sometimes you take the loss .. I had to before... and that was few months ago :(
Thank you for the brutal honesty. I was hoping this wouldn't be the case, but I'm inclined to agree.
Do you think it'd be advisable to just buy the newest Aurora R4 (since I liked my previous one so much), or would a custom build be more bang for my buck?
if you have the ability and knowledge to build... yes build one.. but if your wanted to keep the style you can always see about building newer in your case..
there is many write ups on maing I/O controller work with aftermarket boards etc..
as for keeping the Aurora you can find em pretty cheap for an R4 I'm looking at one for 600 CND lol
