Alright fellas, I need to upgrade this bad boy of mine. Problem is, I don't know what to get.
I have a Dimension C521 (slim tower casing) running Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
Some system specs:
Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3400+ 1.80 GHz
Memory(RAM): 1.00 GB
Graphics: Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
Processor Cores: 1
If anything more is needed, let me know.
I'm the only one using this pc, really, and when I'm on it, I'm playing me some games. Well, only one game, really. League of Legends. My fps is not smooth most of the times and I freeze up for a little bit every now and then. All I'm concerned with is getting my computer to the point where it runs smooth. I don't care if I have to continue playing on the lowest graphics settings.
Recently I've been closing PVP.Net (improves performance somewhat) which is really just a platform for League of Legends to launch from. It allows one to add friends, check the store, join chat rooms, etc. and isn't actually needed to play a match. I get out of it because I only have 1 GB RAM and PVP.Net takes up a lot of my memory. Now, I'm not a computer expert or anything, but this makes me believe I just need more RAM and I'm good to go.. but that probably isn't the case, is it? ._.
I'm thinking of just getting 4GB RAM and a solid state drive/internal hard drive
Please bear in mind I'm on a limited budget ($100-$120)
Any suggestions are appreciated ^^ Unless the suggestion is me getting a new rig. I don't want any answers of the sort o:<
P.S. I don't want to change my casing s:
