Hi,

I have an ancient computer sitting around not doing anything. My son is now getting into gaming but only lightly at this stage. Is there anything that I can do with this to upgrade or should I just go fresh build for him? He would want 1080p 0r 1440p for Forza and other racing sims plus tot use for school work.

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge)
MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
8GB ram
MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III OC V2 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Alpenföhn Matterhorn Pure Edition CPU Cooler
Corsair TX650M PSU
60gb Samsung SSD
1TB HDD
Zalman Z9 ATX case

I told you it was ancient!!!

Thanks
 
Hi,

Whatever it would take to get it upgraded to play Forza etc or a new PC I could probably go up to £1200. If it doesn't need that for a first entry into PC gaming then that would be great. Any specs or links would be great.

Thanks
