Upgrading a APEVIA X-QPACK2

AlexWirtes · Apr 5, 2014

A friend and I are wanting to upgrade this deskto computer but have no real idea where to begin in terms of searching for specific parts. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have given me the name of the PC case.
Could you click Start -> Type dxdiag and press enter -> click save all information -> upload it somewhere (Google drive, Dropbox etc..) -> give us the link.

Sorry about that.

The CPU is good enough for most games though you could change the CPU to a Core 2 Quad Q9500 or better (CPU support list: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2891
The GPU could be upgraded to a GTX 285 / GTX 470 / GTX 560 / GTX 660 / GTX 750 Ti
You could change out the 1GB RAM stick for a 2GB stick for 4GB RAM

Okay thanks for the info. Thats CPU, GPU, and RAM. Is there anything else that could be upgraded upon? I mean we already have an HDD to use. We could wipe it and do a clean install of Windows 7 64bit.

How many RAM slots and HDD ports does this machine have? I don't have it in front of me, sadly. I hear it has some heating issues as well, could I add a fan and see if I could make it liquid cooled?

It isn't worth liquid cooling, just buy something like a EVO 212.
This is the motherboard for reference: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2891#ov

So a new motherboard, processor, graphics card, and some RAM. Looking at a small fortune. Is it even worth it to upgrade or should I just get a new machine altogether?

As I said, only upgrade the RAM and GPU. The CPU and motherboard are good enough to get 60FPS is most new games.
