I have an HP Pavilion a1540n, 2.5 years old.
It's a really bad computer, so I was thinking of giving it a revamp.
It currently has a amd athlon x2 64 2.2 GHz, an 300 watt psu, an asus nodusm mobo, and a 6100 graphics card.
So, I was thinking of adding a 4870, and a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz
but that's just because of my crappy mobo. Should I just do that, or should I rip out the mobo also, and put in an entire different thing. My total budget for anything is $600, and I'd like to do it right, so any help would be appreciated. Also, my final goal is to play gta IV. Thanks
