Hmm.... I think maybe I will reconsider about it. Maybe I will change my decision to get myself a Q6600 and GTX 1050.

If you can find a core 2 quad really cheap, yeah. But remember, it's only really a stop gap upgrade.

Whatever you choose to upgrade, you'll need a new PSU. It will cost more than rm100 I'm sure too.

Agree.. but even a 80+ bronze is going to cost more..

PSU Wattage: 230 Watts (A concern for my PC)

Aim your efforts to getting at least a branded 500W 80+ bronze power supply unit first before even considering anything else..

A corsair 600W 80+ gold if you can but something along these lines..

You run the risk of frying whatever new component you put into your system with your current psu..

low budget I go with c2q 9450/9550/9650 then get a used 3-4year old decent card (eg. r9 270, gtx660ti etc)
personally using C2Q9650 I feel it faster than i5 6mb cache model.
just my 2 cent
