Hi i bought a emachines w3653. I would like to know what i should upgrade i allready bought more ram 1 to 2 gig

im going to be using it for going on the internet and would like to run real flight r/c flight simulator and downloading video and mp3

which Real flight do you have, A video card would be the main upgrade. I looked and it has a PCI-E slot available for upgrade, So you can put one in. I have the Real Flight G4 and it's a lot of fun online, But needs the video card to run smooth especially with the online play. Let us know how much you have to spend on a video card and someone here will guide you to the most bang for the buck on graphics cards. This really is a great site.

im not going to be able to order the card until november is there another good card you i could get that would be cheaper

That's only a month away, I would wait instead of spending it twice and get a better card with the money you don't spend on the first one. If you just want to get a little cheaper take a look at these.

the psu that gt7sanreno listed will i still be able to use the power switch on the frount of the tower or will i have to use the switch on the psu to turn on the pc

 

[Dauntae]

The power supply attaches to your mother board and drives and the switch on the case is wired to to the Motherboard so the PS is turned on and off by your mother board. So the switch on your case will still work.
