Then in that case, I'd recommend upgrading that before anything else.

I wouldn't want to run expensive hardware on that, especially when gaming.

I'm not clued up on US pricing for hardware. I'd wait until someone is to reply.

But this is a decent unit for not a bad price.

With the processor that I currently have, is it worth it to upgrade to the one I provided to you? Or should I buy the graphics card and PSU?

The 4130 will still hold it's own in some games. But it will struggle as newer titles are released.

But I'd make it last on the list. PSU > GPU > CPU

In that order.

Isn't this better? Plus it's cheaper

The HIVE 550 is the better unit out of the 2.

But it's up to you, both will do the same job and you won't be stressing the unit so they will both perform about the same.

But the HIVE is the better of the 2, if that matters to you.
