Oh boy, I hope I'm not late to the party, cause I really need this.
So I got a 5yo budget PC that is getting really rusty.
SPECS:
GPU: ATi HD5770
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 925 @ 2.8GHz with stock cooler :(
MoBo: ASRock A770DE+ (Really bad decision, I can only use DDR2 RAM)
RAM: 3x 1GB DDR2@667Mhz, this cripples my PC the most, I can't have more than 10 browser tabs open
HDD: 1x 250 GB Samsung, 1x 500 GB Samsung and a antique 320 GB Hitachi that's 1 step from breaking
PSU: Well, the PSU is ok, got a 550W Seasonic
I also have a 6yr old LG L192WS 19" 900p monitor, so I can have the ultimate 30fps@900p potato cinematic gaming experience :)

Stock CPU Fan does a OK job :)
Bonus: Generic keyboard, mini-mouse and glorious 99c mousepad
Why I need it and why the heck did I not upgraded something?
Well I would upgrade RAM but I can't find cheap DDR2@667Mhz, and I don't really have the money to get a new mobo, since I just graduated HS and my parents need to pay for my education first. I could really use a upgrade since I'm starting CS next year and I won't afford getting one by myself for ~ 2 years. Living in East Europe doesn't really help, neither.
Thank you for doing this! :)
