any idea on what kind of RAM your computer has at the moment? If it isnt DDR3 then see about getting that. It shouldn't be too expensive; I think 4gb of DDR3 RAM goes for like $60 to $100 depending on the brand. I would say the most cost effective processors you can get are the Intel i5's. They are getting much cheaper because of the new i7's leading the way. And in the spot of graphics I'm not very knowledgeable about them, so dont ask lol.

You can get 1 DDR3 4GB stick of RAM for around $40. And to answer op's question. You need a whole upgrade. Your computer is SHIT. You could most likely not play any games on it.

the only problem with the i7's is they are really expensive because they are leading the way right now. I'd say always stay right under the newest technology so that your know it will be good and will be much cheaper
