Hey, your son discovered a brand new Asus GT520 silent GPU and an N68C board in the loft. He’s eager to build but is missing RAM, CPU, and cooler. Anyone can assist with finding 8GB RAM for a 64-bit setup. He also needs help locating drivers for the latest GPU and choosing the best CPU that fits this motherboard and platform. A simple cooler would be great for easy installation, especially for a 12-year-old. Need some guidance! PS: https://www.asrock.com/mb/nvidia/n68c-s ucc/#Download
It might work with Windows 10 and 11. Storage: https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-1600MHz...00FAY0QTG/ I suggest turning off built-in graphics. [EDIT] I misunderstood your message, assumed you already had the 6-core Phenom II. It's a solid chip for refreshing an older AM3+ setup, though I'm uncertain if it justifies the cost for such a dated build.

I’d suggest opting for a Phenom II X4 since it’s mainly for enjoyment. These units have very few instruction sets, which means some games might not even install properly. You’ll likely play fewer titles because a GT520 was released in 2011 and display cards aren’t gaming-focused. Honestly, Shadow of War and Fallout 4 probably won’t launch at all with this setup.
