What to upgrade?

[ApeRadius]

I have figured out what RAM I need to upgrade but I figure I might as well upgrade some more stuff. Can someone give me a tip as to what hardware I should look into for upgrading?

I know you don't know I need, however, I need to find out what hardware is usually upgraded.

Ask me anything you need to.

Thanks!!

In my honest opinion, if you're planning on gaming with that computer upgrading will be very difficult. It is quite out of date. How much money are you planning to spend on the upgrades? If you list your budget and what you're planning to do with the computer, I'd do my best to help you build a new computer for that price.
