For gaming
u need to change the whole rig to have a decent play for next few yrs
now whats ur budget?

Noobatthis · Mar 5, 2014

Idk,
i have $300
Im from New Zealand
i'm only 14 and my parents don't give me money so I have to make my own and it has taken me a very very long time to save to $300 so yeah

honestly i could suggest an upgrade path but its really not worth it

if you upgrade graphics card and psu there will be a bootle neck in memory
if you upgrade memory there will be a bottle neck in cpu
your cpu cant be upgraded mug higher than the one on this system

i would just build from new

if you dont have that kind of money i can try to suggest small upgrade on ram and gpu but the money you will be paying you wont see the performance as your cpu will bottleneck

i would just save about 300 more dollars and get new system, and widows xp isnt compatible with new games so you would need new os too

nashdes001 · Mar 5, 2014

what wattage psu u have?

lol disregard im an idiot i thought you was saying add the stick from existing build, my bad

Thanks for the answers

But I'm mainly using the new computer just for Leauge of Legends and I don't think LoL takes much to run?
(Recommended requirements)
CPU - 3 GHz Proccessor
2 GB of RAM
hdd -12 gb avaliable

So anything that I can upgrade to make LoL and maybe other games to run better?
