Hi, I have this 4-5 years old computer, and I am looking to upgrade it. First of all I do not know a lot about computer parts, it was my brother who build this computer, but since hes overseas and busy, he doesn't have much time. Right now i use the games for playing several games such as SC2 and vindictus, however I am only able to run these games in low (or even lowest) setting, and even then there are occasional slowdown/lag time.
I have around 300-400 dollar budget and i was wondering what if it is possible to upgrade my computer to play current games in higher settings.
Since i do not know too much, i ll try to identify the parts I have with a software i found. If more info are needed, then I can try my best to find to (or if you tell me how XD)
Running on Vista Home Premium
CPU: Intel Core 2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz
MotherboardI can't really find much about my mother board :? it says P5K, Serial number is MS1C74B52600832
Ram:OCZ 1 GB PC2-6400 DDR2 RAM (OCZ2VU8001G) (2 Gb in total)
Hard Drive: Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 320-GB Hard Drive
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
Or would i be better off building a whole new computer (which of course i ll have to save more money haha...)
