Hello,
Sorry I am a complete beginner to upgrading computers and stuff like that.
I have an old computer in my basement and I wanted to upgrade it (people says its cheaper). I want to know what i can upgrade to and the prices. I am hoping to spend only $400/500 on upgrading to gaming computer. Here are my Computer Specs. I am copying things off of HWiNFO.
