So you gotta get a new mobo too then haha.

Oh okay.

pcsx2 console shows the features your machine supports on start up under
x86 Features Detected:
near the top. Amd's features are different then Intel's.
To activate console it is in misc menu, show console
In Revision 5908 changing the EE cycle rate higher the 3 is possible by editing the PCSX2_vm.ini file change setting EECycleRate=x anywhere from 3 to 99. This might give you a speed boost but might cause game issues. You are warned!

you still would probably need new RAM... maybe even a new psu. And since these ssd's are somehow quite nice...
That the GPU-socket standard (PCIe) was more or less fixed for a couple of years now is good for compatibility.. but everything else needs to be updated if you replace one part...
