That computer is well beyond the upgrade stage. You need a new computer.

All your components in your computer are aged pretty badly. If you want to get in to gaming/multitasking id suggest either buying one or building one. At this state, upgrading your computer wouldn't make any sense as you would be virtually building from scratch. If you need help with coming up with a build or a prebuilt PC, I can help.

Yeah, its better to build a new one, what's your budget?

Your system at one time was a viable system but like anything else they become obsolete as stated above you need to build a newer system if you need any help on a system I would be happy to make a build for you either amd or intel let me know good luck to you.

The intel one have a better upgrade path, but is more expensive.
