I have an old PC (system summary pasted below) and it's pretty sluggish these days, especially when I want to play games like Sims 3 etc. My question is can I upgrade the graphics, processor and RAM or is it easier and cheaper to just buy a new PC? If it is the latter are there any good gaming PC's for between £500 - £800?
I have pretty limited knowledge of systems, I just like to play games but it's getting harder and harder. Thanks!
