Refurbishing Old Computer

[computetnoob]

I have an old (not that old) Toshiba laptop that can hardly run anymore. It is really slow and I want to make it new and even better than before possibly make it able to handle some of the better games out there like bf4 counterstike and others I don't know if it will be possible and I need some guidance. Can anybody help me by adding some things I will need and maybe some links to some sights that will help.

Can't do anything without a model number mate.

About all you can do is add more RAM (up to 8GB) and replace the HDD with an SSD.

Replacing the CPU with something else will probably fairly spendy to do: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/325068-28-upgrade-satellite-l655-s5150

Your GPU is integrated, which is run off of the CPU.

Not much upgrading you can do besides RAM/SSD, I'd say.

so if I wanted a good gaming PC or laptop I should just buy a whole new setup

^ Yep, pretty much.

Yea, that setup is pretty damn old.
