Upgrades

[Jineus]

Hey guys,
I have a laptop that has all the decent qualities except for the graphics card, and the graphics card is integrated into the motherboard, so I cannot upgrade it. Therefore, I cannot play games. So I want to buy a really cheap sucky computer with a decent CPU, then upgrade everything else. How can I check if that motherboard is compatible to the graphics card I want?

Thanks in advance.

What motherboard???

You don't list one and if you are talking about using your laptop's... that isn't an option in a PC, they won't work in that setup, as far as I've ever seen.

Im just saying my laptop sucks, so I want a desktop.
Here's what I'm looking at:
http://www.buy.com/prod/dell-optiplex-320-celeron-3-06-ghz-512-mb-80-gb-hdd-dvd-cd-rw-combo/q/loc/101/215984230.html
and then upgrade everything else other than the CPU

Um, why not just build you own PC?

A celeron processor isn't exactly good you know...

Fill out form in sticky, link in my sig if you want help with a full build.
