Honestly, the whole thing. You'll need a new motherboard and processor as well as a dedicated GPU.
You'll then need a new case to accommodate the new motherboard and for that you'll need a new PSU which is standard ATX.

so in a nut shell, what your actually trying to say is just buy another one

I'd say BUILD a new one so you won't need to replace anything and you'll get exactly what you want. How long was that warranty, 1.3 GHZ??? I have not seen any like that in a long while.

Buy another pc? Nope.... build 1 is the way to go.

ok, im a novice on building PC's, i know the basics on software and hardware but not 100% on it all

If u could do a puzzle, then u can build 1 It's that easy.

It's pretty easy, Newegg has a few vids on youtube on the how too to help you out on how to do it. the rest can be asked here if you should run into trouble.

Build another one but you can retain some of your current parts. And yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. The platform isn't a solid ground to start from and neither is the form factor.

It's an E CPU. AMD's equivalent to an Atom. Hence why I told him you have to start from scratch basically.

Just give us a budget and we'll piece you together a system. It would be easier and less time wasted.

What we need first is what exactly you need more performance on. I'm assuming gaming?
