Possible PC Upgrades.

System Specs:
Lenovo Ideacentre 330B
CPU: Intel Pentium (R) G630 2.7Ghz
RAM: 6 gig
Graphics Card: 6670 Radeon 1gig
PSU: 400 Watt

Having trouble finding all the specs but was wondering what a good CPU and other upgrades would be for this system. Used for gaming. Thanks

i cant say a shit about upgrades till i dont know your budget.

I'm not looking to spend over a few hundred bucks.

Some possible upgrades:
Get a new CPU to avoid bottlenecking, such as an i5 (you will also have to get a new motherboard)
Get a new PSU first if you want to upgrade (to be able to handle the upgrades, 400w will be barely enough)
Crossfire your 6670 (you can even crossfire three-way)
Get a new GPU (GTX 760, 770 or R9 290 would be amazing. HD 7950 and hd 7950 are also good)
Get a 7200 RPM Hard Drive or an SSD
Hope it helped :bounce:

im assuming this upgrade is for gaming purposes...

couldnt find any info on that specific motherboard, but if its a g630 CPU, you should be able to use any intel sandybridge chip. i5-2400 etc...

if you want to upgrade your GPU, you will need a better power supply as well (depending on the gpu you choose of course)

but honestly, the g630 is a pretty decent cpu for a dual core. the cheapest upgrade for you (without changing your psu) would be a radeon 7770. with that you could game on med-high settings on resolutions less than 1080p. you can run 1080p on a 7770, but at med detail and lowered AA.

Well its your basic run of the mill cheap prebuilt so you want to upgrade the power supply min 550 watts good name brand then you may be able to upgrade your gpu to maybe 7850 or even a r 270 x but that's a lot of money in this system you be better off building your own.. the model I pull up is the 330 k not the B model... a 200 dollar card and 50 to 75 dollar power supply then a 75 dollar hard drive your well into the 350 bucks area.. So it may not be advisable to upgrade...
