Build a new computer. Because no amount of upgrades on your current pc is worth spending on turning it into a gaming machine. Iron Sharpens Iron.

Agreed. Your system is outdated & poorly configured...it isn't worth investing any money in.

i didn't ask for your opinion of my computer .if u cannot answer the question, then don't post a response.i want to keep my computer & don't want to buy a new one.but if i do tell me what hardware to get and if it is so poorly configured,plz post a reasonable configuration. THANK YOU ........IF U CAN NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION DON'T POST A RESPONSE.......

"do tell me what hardware to get and if it is so poorly configured,plz post a reasonable configuration" OK buddy, you asked for it...here's what you'll need: GIGABYTE AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 motherboard - $65 AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7GHz CPU - $65 G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2-10664 RAM - $50 CORSAIR 550W power supply - $70 Radeon HD 4830 512MB video card - $75 The total is $325. Keep in mind that this is a budget rebuild. You *should* be able to reuse your old HDD, optical drive & floppy drive. Of course, Windows will have to be reinstalled & you will NOT be able to use any of your HP discs. You *may* be able to use your old case, but only if the hardware will fit in it.

BTW, here's the answer I wrote to your other post earlier today: http://www.computing.net/answers/cp...

So would you rather people not be honest with you and give you a bunch a bull and make you spend a lot of money on an old pc that's still going to underperform with modern games? I mean if you want me to give you a bunch of bull i can.
