I bought my current pc around a year and a half ago for $300, it's been great but now I'm looking to speed it up. Its an HP Pavilion HPE 410y, AMD Phenom 2 x6 1045t 2.7ghz, 1gb hd 5570, 8gb ram. more specs here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c02481318#N57 I wanted to build my own, but this was a lot cheaper at the time. Now what I would like to do is upgrade. My main concern is with gaming. I'm thinking of either purchasing new mobo so I can OC the processor (I don't like the sub 3ghz speed) or purchase a new graphics card and obviously a new power supply. I can spend around $300 so I don't think I could do both. so which would get me the most improvement for the money?
