Well, I'm kind of new to computer hardware and such and I need a new PC/or upgrade it. But I heard sometimes you can't upgrade the PC.
Here are my specs ( I used Speccy):

OS

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1

CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 @ 2.00GHz
Conroe 65nm Technology

RAM
4.00 GB DDR2

Motherboard
Intel Corporation DP965LT (LGA 775)

Video
831W (1366x768@60Hz)
1024MB GeForce 9400 GT (BFG Tech)

Hard Drives
75GB Seagate ST380021A ATA Device (PATA)
279GB Seagate ST3300622A ATA Device (PATA)

I know I need a new CPU and a new video card. I think my RAM is alright. But would I be able to upgrade this, or should I just save up for an entirely new PC? (I'm planning to just game with it)

new pc

I meant the hardware, not the OS itself.

*facepalm* Windows 7 is the Operating System, which has nothing to do with performance in games. OP, i'd recommend you make a new one if you can since the Core 2 Duo is outdated, along with the 9400 GT. You'd have to replace your CPU, GPU, PSU, and the Mobo to get a good performance boost.

Yeah, that is way too bad to be worth upgrading. Do you play on gaming? If so, you should build a PC.

I don't think it's his OS he wants to upgrade

oh and op, if you do get a new pc it might be worth to keep your 9400gt as a physx card.

OP, what's your budget/currency? The people around this forum should be able to whip you up a nice build real quick.

Don't really know. I have some ideas on selling some stuff though. And I asked for hardware for Christmas.

lol whoops

I think you should build not buy if you plan to get the best bang for your buck
