If you think the PS3 sucks and you don't want it... this is probably the best time of year to persuade somebody to buy it as a present. Apart from that it's a crap time of year to sell one, but then it'll be even worse in January

Then use the money to invest in upgrades for the PC.

I can't imagine you'll get much money for your PS3 at this point.

Depending on what sucks with the PS3, you may also be disappointed with your PC.

Also, if I recall correctly, none of the i3 processors would work with your motherboard socket (775 that the E7500 uses). If your motherboard supports it, you would have to go to a Core 2 Quad. There's also the question if your power supply would be able to handle a graphics card, etc.

If I were you I'll stick with my PS3 until I save enough money not to upgrade but to buy a better PC.

So how much will it cost for a new motherboard that supports it...I'll get 16000 rupees that's around 266$ will I be able to afford it??

I'll get around 266$... I'm not quite sure If it'll be enough(ofc I'm including all my games)

Which i3 processor would it be?

just a quick note my other half found a brand new PS3 for £39! probably worth keeping and sell in 20yrs

brand new PS3 for £39!

???

I'm fairly sure you can't get a new PS3 for anywhere near that money.

IIRC, they're just under £170 now.

Wow, that's actually pretty shocking.

 

[acascianelli]

You probably made a mistake buying that PS3.

I wouldn't bother dumping a ton of money into that computer either.
