I have been trying to find online how far my friend's computer can be upgraded. She has a Gateway DX-4710-301A computer. Her current specs are 6gb of ram, windows 7 home premium 32-bit, Intel Core 2 quad Q6700 2.66 Ghz, BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG, 300 watt PSU (im not sure what kind it is), 250Gb western Digital Sata II (product name: WD2500YS) Hard drive [she has 2 hard drives in her computer, can't remember the second one other than that its 160gb ram and a SATA II]. I am not sure about the heat sink she has either. If you need anymore information, please ask. Mainly im concerned with the CPU and PSU

You should buy a whole new computer, preferably by parts. What's your budget?

poor high school student- enough said. She just wants to see what the limit of the computer she has is. Better to see her options currently than to splurge on a new computer entirely. I forgot to mention she has an ASUS silent radeon 5450 graphics card. If you wanna recommend a good custom computer, then go for it, wouldnt mind seeing a good one, but the budget would be $700-500 preferably cheaper the better. But really, for this computer, i would like to know the limit of the CPU upgradeability
