HP Compaq DC5800 Small Form Factor

Hi everyone, is there any way that my computer can be turned into a gaming pc? I mean I only use it for browsing and watching videos. Just wondering if I buy the right parts or upgrade some stuff I can make it play games like Left 4 Dead...

You can just add a GTX 750Ti, and you'll be able to play games.

I personally would not advise this since overall its just a basic computer and you would have to upgrade everything. Mobo doesnt support really good CPU's etc. Build a decent computer for $400-500 dollars, don't waste your time.

@guy who posted above me.... + a better powersupply with atleast 450w + better air flow...

Austin R :

He could also change to 4GB RAM DDR2, and the GPU. He can play those kind of games with this build, one of my computers are similar to this one and can play Skyrim and all.

True, def would be a must to get some more/better RAM.
+ better airflow.

it will be limited, but that depends on the user if that is already acceptable.
personally, i'd save up and build a new one.
