I'll try to be brief. My other half recently bought an all-in-one desktop but neglected to do the research; I'm now upgrading it so I can use it for gaming, despite being completely uninformed myself.
Specifically (if it helps at all) I want to be able to play Dragon Age: Inquisition without it looking awful.
However, trying to find the "right" thing is mind-boggling, and then of course we factor in budget...
So, it came with an Intel Celeron cpu n3050 1.6ghz. Does that mean I can get any Intel processor?
Other than that, any suggestions? The rest of my computer is (obviously) not going to be top of the line, although I've got 16GB of RAM now, so I don't want to spend money on power I can't use. I'm not concerned about overclocking (I'm not even sure what that IS!) and I'm willing to go slightly cheaper and have to upgrade a little sooner down the line (where hopefully I'll have more of a clue what I'm doing.)
I'd like to keep it under £200 (or about the same USD) and I'd need to get a cooler for it, which is going to be an adventure all of it's own.
I'm running Windows 10. If it means anything to anyone the motherboard is HP 2b46 apparently.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated because my mind is rather thoroughly boggled by the amount of information out there.
