Hanz Well considering you have a Core i3 suggests that you didn't buy it all that long ago. Why don't you check to see if you can put a Core i5 in it. Then buy at least 4 GB of memory for it. Does that motherboard have on board video and sound? If it does then buy a decent video card for it. This way your not spending all that money for a new system, you just upgrade what you already have. Shaun |

Hanz Hey Hanz; here's the specs for your motherboard: http://www.intel.com/products/deskto...g-overview.htm It has onboard video, you could check the manual and see if you can add a better video card. You can put in a Core i5, and you can install 2 - 4GB memory sticks for a total of 8GB, you'll have to remove the old memory sticks and try to sell them. Maybe put in another hard drive for storing download as stuff. Hope this helps, Shaun |

Before you even consider spending money, define what you mean by "faster." If you are held back by video you can upgrade that. If you are held up by CPU in compute bound jobs, you can upgrade that or maybe overclock. More memory will often make things faster, unless you have tiny compute bound job(s). And if disk is an issue, putting the stuff you use most on an SSD will be the cost effective first upgrade. And if you mean slow getting stuff off the net, monitor your actual transfer speed on the websites you actually use. Unless you want to just buy state of the art everything, and have the budget to do it, find out what's making your system slow and fix that first. You asked a very vague question, sorry if the answer isn't much better. |
