Hello Frnds,
My sister have a 4 year old pc. Config of which is this:

AMD Athlon 64bit proccy
MSI RS4 mobo
1gb DDR RAM simmtronics lifetime warranty

Now she want to sell these 3 and buy new proccy, mobo, ram. Budget is 15k-20k. Can someone suggest me how much can she get after selling these 3 and how much the new hardware will cost.

Feedback awaited.

no gaming only work. graphic designing web designing that's all. some movies + multimedia + songs that's all needed.
