Well as you guessed im am a huge noob when it comes to pcs but the games i looking to play is , All the guild wars really and thats it. I got my pc in 2004-2005Ā
Also could you tell me how to check my specs and what my be the best place for some pros to put a new graphics card to my motherboard?
Like I said im a noob at all this stuff so how do you upgrade your RAM?matt23241
Ā
First of all you have to find out what type of RAM you have (ie DDR or DDR2).
RAM comes in sticks... so you could get a 512MB stick or a 1GB stick etc... The RAM then just slots into the motherboard. Ā
None that are prebuilt, and I honestly don't think you're ready to build one by yourself. Can you find someone who will hold your hand on your first build?
If you can, order your mobo and case from the same place and see if they'll put it in for you, that's always the hardest part in my experience.
It sounds like you should really look into purchasing a new computer.Ā Depending on your motherboard you may, or may not be able to install a new video card.Ā If your motherboard does not have an AGP slot you won't be able to install a new Video card.Ā You could get on old PCI card in that case, but that wouldn't get you the performance you'll need to play current games.Ā Your current computer is also in need of more memory, which you should be able to upgrade, but unless you can get a new video card installed more memory will not do you any good.
For $700 you should be able to get a decent computer to play games on.Ā What types of games are you looking to play?
www.ibuypower.com is a good site to check out for getting budged gamming computers.Ā If you already have a monitor, speakers, keyboard, and mouse than you can simply choose to not puchase them and spend your money on purchasing better computer components.Ā
