i wouldnt touch anything. oem boards, you dont mess with. that includes cpu upgrades

sell it and build one from scratch.

[Kartoon87]

no money so with what i just said i still need to move ahead with that idea
and i have no faith in my ability to build a computer at that

[Andy]

Yah ... you're simply not going to be able to do what you want to with those parts. Nor are they worth upgrading. I would just start saving for a new build.

[_dangtx_]

ok maybe teh ram,and then you'll need a 64 bit os but anything more than that? forget about it.

or sell the lot as we speak and the nsave the moneys for the upgrade. an i3 sandy bridge or 1156 clocked high

will do marvels. i'd still go with a 2500k build. you can probably sell it with the lcd for like 3-400 i think

[Kartoon87]

i think i might die ... is there really no way ... what about 560 nvidia or like a card with 2gbs of ram will that take a load off my cpu



last last resort i buy a new case and mobo and have a shop install it and then i can oc my cpu

what will that do me

[Kartoon87]

sell it with the led* and this screen is brand new why would i sell it
2ms response time 23inch widescreen is that not good?

What they said. The only way to ge better performance out of the cpu is to go to a quad 9xxx series. They are eol'ed now, and stupid expensive resale used.

Memory can be done fairly cheaply ~$45-$50 for 2 x 2 GB sticks of PC2-6400.

Not really sure if its worth it though.

[_dangtx_]

try not to :)

no. bottlenecked it shalt be. heavily.

i would run caseless if that meant i could get an upgrade

hell,i am running caseless lol,but for different reasons.

then keep it.

where you buying from? you got ncix and the like in toronto,canada computers..the lot.

[Kartoon87]

Yes but if i go forward get a new case and mobo i can keep upgrading right?
like lets say i get a new cpu next then gpu
