I’ll grab a 600W power supply and an i5 4690 processor. I don’t have much money for a full upgrade, so I’ll go slow and improve things gradually. Eventually, I hope to make it work someday.
Budget? Specs? Capture a photo of the interior and PSU wattage chart. Just grab a SATA/Molex to 8-pin, assuming your PSU isn’t too weak. For GPU options, 60-80$ will get you an RTX 570/580 with 8GB, while 4GB models cost 40-50$. So go for something solid over a mediocre 6400.
What is a 600w power supply? Wattage doesn't matter if it's a faulty unit that could damage your PC when you demand several hundred watts. Also, quad-core processors are essentially dual-core designs. They're holding on mainly because the PS4 and Xbox One are still running, which seems likely to end by year-end. I strongly advise against investing in this setup and instead wait. What is your budget? And what are your current specifications? The main concern here is that your machine is close to ten years old—far beyond its prime and only the highest-end specs remain useful.
