The computer is a

DELL OptiPlex 380
4gig ram
dual core intell

Is there any way to upgrade the power?

I'm not sure what ram it takes ddr2 or ddr3

Is it worth putting a Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670K in my computer?

I'm not even sure how to find out what's compatible with my computer.

I'd really like to avoid upgraged the processor because all I do are ADOBE 2d projects like photoshop, photo editting ,light room, indesign etc.

Do you think it's worth upgrading the ram?

Gotcha. I used to have a Asus G50 and G75VX were great machines but I decided to down grade. I guess I'll look into upgrading the Ram to 8gigs. I thought I'd be able to rip out the processor and upgrade it

I'm screwed with the integrated graphics

Yeah I understand. I really like my slow computer lol. I would hate to sell it. I can deal with the dual core processor but I'm just curious if there were a way to up the speed of the processor or if upgrading the ram from 4 to 8 gigs.

And you think that I wont be able to upgrade the video card, even if it's just a step up?
