I've been thinking about getting a new computer, but I have a few things I need to figure out.
Mostly things like what CPU or how much RAM to get.
I use my computer daily for watching movies and surfing the web, as well as some Gaming. Gaming be a primary reason why I'm upgrading since a lot of newer games can't run on my current Desktop.
With this in mind I'm wondering if the current set up would suffice for a decent Everyday computer with Gaming tendencies.
Processor- AMD Athlon(TM) II 250 dual-core processor [3.0GHz, 2MB L2, up to 4000MHz bus]
Memory- 4GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [2 DIMMs]
Hard drive- 500GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
Graphics card- 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 315 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
I'm buying a new PC through HP(All of my past computers have been HPs and I've loved them, plus my work gives me a pretty decent discount on desktops)
A few things can be still be upgraded, but for the $541 I'd be dishing out, this looks like it should be a pretty decent set-up.
If you have any questions on what can be further upgraded, and to what, lemme know and I'll do my best to ask.
Thanks for all the help.
