My Moms gaming pc is getting a little old now. She has bought a new one but we're waiting on a desk
:/

Old pc specs
Case: Its a "sleeper style" beige case (id say 2001 ish)
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2 ( Heres a link) https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P6T_Deluxe_V2/
Ram: 6gb of ddr3 (dont know the speed probably 1066mhz) (she says she put "16gb" in but task manager reads 6 so..)
Cpu: i7 920 (first gen)
Gpu: EVGA GTX 750 SC (1gb gddr5)
Psu: EVGA 500w bronze or silver (been awhile since i looked at it)
Cpu Cooler: Basic i7 cooler
Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)

When im going to get her old pc im thinking of either overclocking the i7 920 or getting a i7 990x and oc it. Yes im probably going water cooling. Sorry this thread is all over the place (its my first one sorry)
 
Any update for us? This thread will be closed if not replied to within 48hrs.
 
Update : I'm going to buy either a Corsair water cooler or a be quiet! Air cooler
