Suitable upgrades for ET1331G03W?

[dilutedmix101]

So I'm looking for some help with upgrading a pc i bought years ago, a pre-built emachines ET1331G-03W. I'm planning on buying a GPU and PSU only, even though i know my other components are pretty lackluster. With that said, I'm looking to create a build where i could play newer games on medium settings, without obvious juggernauts like bf3 and crysis.

CPU1 : AMD Athlon™ II X2 dual-core processor 235e
(2.7GHz, 2MB L2 cache)

Operating System2 : Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Chipset : NVIDIA® GeForce® 6150 SE

Memory3 : 6144MB DDR2 dual-channel (2 × 1024MB + 2 × 2048MB)
Expandable to 8GB
4 DDR2 slots (total), 0 DDR2 slot (available)

Hard Drive4 : 750GB 7200rpm SATA

I would save your money for a future upgrade!

I would agree with the above, however, with a GPU and PSU you can always take them to a new build anyway. Your CPU is going to hold you back quite a bit, but the PSU you selected looks like its a good price with the $20MIR and $10 off code. I would however go for a GPU with a little more power. What is your budget? I'd go for something at least like a 7770 or GTX650Ti, or more if you are able.

my budget is $120, i do plan on scraping parts for a newer build when i get used to pc hardware, im very new at this. right now i'm just trying to get the hang of it all, consider this an experiment

Understood.

That PSU is a good deal, especially after rebate and $10 off. Pay attention it is a rebate card. I would suggest a little better video card. If you could spring for an AMD7770 you would me a bit better off. It also comes with a free game. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127687
