So about six months ago, My computer exploded. in turn my grandma had to go out and buy a NEW pc for herself of course I raged early after to find out she RARELY uses it and then goes out to buy a pretty good Laptop for about $100 and starts to use that instead. So now i'm on the edge of stealing this pretty big desktop PC for myself and leaving her out to dry, but before i did I went out and downloaded some games for it. Luckily they all played well.. But not well enough and upon running a internal test on the damn thing I was surprised it got at least 7 in every category... Except for the gaming abilities. Mainly the GFX card and processor (I think) all i need to know, since Christmas came up and I got some big bills in my wallet early what would I need to fix this up to a mid end gaming PC, so I can at least play GLOBAL AGENDA without my frames dropping every few seconds. (Also blade & soul if I'm lucky)

Same thing as Rathlin1s thread. Hardware's too old to make the upgrade worthwhile.

Can the gpu even be replaced? How I look at that pic it shows no case. So my guess is that the screen is the whole computer?

I know it's Dell, so GPU upgrades are pretty much out of the question already.

Other upgrades, which can be done, aren't worth it either.

I want to start a company dedicated to smashing old computers and then use the pieces for something productive.
