upgrading my gateway DX4300-11 to a gaming pc

[jayakace]

what would you suggest? I have never done this before. I already got a new 450 w power supply in it but really want to peak its performance. I hate playing games that lag on me or I have to set the visuals low to try and play them. do I need a new graphics card or cpu or memory? its starting to get confusing. what works and what don't like I said I haven't a clue but want to try

Do you prefer AMD or Intel.
Intel is better in gaming but when it comes to multitasking and rendering AMD is the most badass guy out there!
