    Default Help me Pleeze.

    My dad bought this stupid HP desktop out of nowhere simply cause it was on sale and it had a 1 TB HD..... I yelled at him.

    I'm curious If I can upgrade this and if I can how should I?

    OPERATING SYSTEM • Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    PROCESSOR • AMD Athlon™ II X4 620 Quad-Core Processor
    PROCESSOR SPEED • 2.60GHz
    CHIPSET • NVIDIA MCP78V Chipset
    CACHE • 2MB L2 Cache
    BUS SPEED • 4000MHz System Bus
    MEMORY • 8GB PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM memory
    HARD DRIVE • 1 Terabyte 5400RPM Serial ATA hard drive
    VIDEO GRAPHICS • NVIDIA GeForce 9100 Graphics with 256MB (It's integrated...oh how nice /sarcasm)

    If you have a good power supply then all you would need would be a good video card. Most likely you don't have a good power supply so just get a new one and a video card.

    Price range?

    Also, I got the best tip of all! Buy a 2TB HDD and spend the 1TB to me.

    Not a bad deal, wish I had a deal like that, I get the monitor, my brother gets the computer for Aion.

    Anyway, I meant price range for possible upgrade and most importantly country you're in..

    A little over your budget, after rebate, but it's a pretty good deal. This is assuming you have a normal, non slim tower.

    Well here is what the tower looks like:



    Hmm expansion information:

    EXPANSION SLOTS • 3 PCI Express x1 (two available)
    • 1 PCI Express x16 (one available)

    >< I don't know if this helps. And holy shit that card is huge! Dx

    It'll fit. At least horizontal(from power button's front view) I'm guessing the card is around 10" or so, it's not huge, there's a card that's 13" but you don't heard onrpgers complaining.

    Just measure from the expansion bay to HDD holder if it's more than 10".
