I was thinking about changing my motherboard to LGA1155 H61 MSI H61M-P23 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813130593
My processor to Intel® Core™ i3-2100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115078
I only have 2 gb ddr2 ram and to get 2 gb more is more expensive than getting 4gb ddr3. but to do that i have to change my motherboard to newer model so as my socket.
My graphic card has 1gb gddr3 rest is on the picture.


My budget is around 200 euros not beyond that. but if you really suggest i spend more i might go beyond that point. I play a lot of games mostly new ones.
i would be thankful if you helped me out here

Your budget is 200 euros , tell us from where you want to buy ( country ) for small shipping taxes or you can go and pick the parts from store.

Try an i5 2300 quad core. It will be a good improvement. Fit in your budget ?

just checked they are 175e

i'd buy 2x2 ddr2 and a better gpu, you'll be ok for a while, assuming you want to game.

Personally, the 1155 socket is very affordable. And I just can't see investing money into DDR2 with the price of good DDR3 being so good. I am not a tech so take this for what it is, my opinion, but I think the old core 2 duos are reaching the end of their life for keeping up with new demanding games. Not to say it won't be alright for a bit, but I think the investment to 1155 and DDR3 will be worth your money. I had the same dilemma about 4 months ago. I was running a core2duo E6750. In all fairness, it's still a decent computer, and keeps up with most stuff, but I wanted to upgrade and couldn't see upgrading dying component types.
