Is it possible to customize my Dell Inspiron 660?

The current Specs are:

Intel i3-2130 Processor @3.40 GHz (2 Cores)
Intel HD Graphics 2000
6 GB of RAM
I don't know Motherboard I have Dell Inc. A09 BIOS
My max resolution for my Monitor is 1440x900
I don't know my Power Supply

I want to put in a EVGA GTX 750 Ti and maybe a new power supply.
Probably a 600 or 700W Power Supply.

Yes you can upgrade it. What is your budget?

My budget for upgrade is $250

I want a Pentium G3258 or something better thats around $100
I also want to get a GPU like the GTX 750 Ti
Maybe more RAM, like I could get another 6 GB

what games do you play
If you want a good upgrade path get a skylake cpu and motherboard with some ddr4 ram.
If you just want an upgrade as you said get a pentium g3258 and run the stock cooler and OC it a bit and get a gtx 750ti

Ah, I plan on playing Black Ops 2, and CS:GO, perhaps Minecraft if I feel like pvping.
Do I need to get a new motherboard for upgrading?
Also, is ddr4 RAM really worth it over ddr3 RAM?
ALSO! I really want to be able to use SHADOWPLAY to record!

all of those will run fine on an i5 4460 with integrated if you wanted to have a good upgrade path
Minecraft and CSGO go from 9999999 fps to 9999999999999999999 fps if you waste alot of money on a card so GPU for those isnt a problem CPU will make sure you always stay above 60 fps.
In black ops 2 integrated looks like it runs fine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1rpBwdT-ww

your bets bet for gaming would be
Pentium $70: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117374
GTX 750 ti 130$: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127783&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Video+Card+-+Nvidia-_-N82E16814127783&gclid=Cj0KEQiAu9q2BRDq3MDbvOL1yaYBEiQAD6qoBiTY1PzvyYmAxt3HOuACOrAIuhSuQuIPzbVbLHrYNUoaAhll8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds
Motherboard 45$: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130731&cm_re=MSI_h81m-_-13-130-731-_-Product
it should run shadow play fine on all of those games

Upgrade your psu, buy a GTX950. Take the money that's left over and buy a used 2nd gen i5 or i7. There are a crapload of compatible i5s for your motherboard. You should be able to find a used one for cheap.

A 2nd gen i5 + GTX950 would easily outperform a new Pentium g3258 + GTX750ti. It would also be easier as you would not have to bother with re-installing windows.




Note: if you want to update your BIOS, you could get a 3rd gen cpu.

+1 much better suggestion

Would this be a good enough upgrade? Or can I get it cheaper?

Thats all the stuff I would be adding
A motherboard
A CPU
A GPU
More RAM
Better PSU

Dude that is so much worse than what I was proposing. Did you not like the idea of getting an i5 and GTX950?
