my system is pre built.

my specs:
Windows 7 ultimate SP1
Processor Type: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00 GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 2.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating system
Current PSU: 250W

Additional information: i want to upgrade this machine if possible i want to keep the motherboard though. i want to know how much ram i can upgrade and if their are any processors i can upgrade to from this pentium and any gpu i can get so i can play games on it. i want to get a 350 to 400W psu.

If finding the specs of your parts is going to be a challenge, you can always shoot a pic of each component and we could try and identify them for you.

Mind sharing your location as well? What games are we also talking about?
