Ok so to start off, I'm new to this and I'm not very familliar with a lot of names. I have been doing some research though and I have been learning some things. So, I have a out of date Dell Dimension E310, and I would like for it to.. well perform better overall. I mean it still performs nicely right now.. but its just at that point where I'm really starting to notice the ageing of it.
So I don't have much knowledge as of upgrading, buying, and building. But from what I've heard it seems fairly easy. I once had to replace my motherboard when it went out, but thats all I've really done. Well as I have been doing my research I noticed that I can't even upgrade my ram past 2.0gb with this computer. It seems as if it has pretty low limitations.
Is there anyway I could upgrade this pc so that I can play games like starcraft 2, warrock, and others without lag, and do other stuf like, play 1080p videos without any problems, edit videos without my computer going slow. I really just need to get up to date and have a decent computer for everything including gaming and such.
Also I have a budget of around 300-400 dollars..
and here are my computers specs
Dell Dimension E310 Specs (Pentium 4 521 2.8GHz, 256MB RAM, 80GB HDD, XP Media Center 2005) - Desktops - CNET Reviews
Also I have upgraded to 2gb ram (max for the motherboard ...) and I have a nvidia geforce 6200 video card which is out of date..
Thats all I can think of for now.. so THANKS FOR HELPING!
