Dell inspiron 530 upgrading

[RossCC]

I want to upgrade my PC here are the specs :

2GB ram
Intel 2 duo @2.20
Vista 32 bit OS
300W PSU

What can I do to upgrade ? I don't have a massive budget.

Any help would be appreciated.

You could add 4gb of Ram, and possibly a Radeon 7750 graphics card. Together it would cost you about $125 USD.

Thanks alot for the quick reply. I've heard the max ram my PC can handle is 4GB, so should I get that and then remove the other RAM. And have you got any recommendations on a cheaper graphics card ,I'm looking at around $50.(it's alot to ask for $50 dollars I know)

Personally I would just save some money and build a new computer. Otherwise do what he said ^

As for a $50 graphics card, its not really worth it. They will only play games on low unless you are playing old games. Save some money and get the 7750.

Heres one though if you insist.

Thanks for the advice. I agree a good card for $50 is a longshot. I was looking into getting a better PC but wanted a cheaper alternative. Thanks again.

You can pick up a Nvidia gt 630 on amazon.com for around $50 and your PC will play some games pretty well, like Portal 2, Left 4 dead 1 and 2, or maybe even the new Devil may cry. It will also improve your computers performance. Is it worth is? Maybe if you really don't have the money for a new PC.
