Need help upgrading PC

[Trickdu]

Hello all! I am new to these forums and I tried to find another topic that applied to my issue but I had no luck. I was looking to upgrade my PC starting with a Graphics card, some ram and maybe a cooler. I will list my specs in hope of someone able to tell me about possible compatability, and power issues.
Operating System
Windows 10 Home Insider Preview 64-bit
CPU
AMD Athlon II X4 620 75 °C
Propus 45nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz (6-6-6-18)
Motherboard
PEGATRON CORPORATION VIOLET (CPU 1) 47 °C
Graphics
E320VA (1360x768@60Hz)
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9100 (HP) 94 °C
Storage
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10 EADS-65M2B0 SCSI Disk Device

Other than maybe getting an Nvidia GTX 750 / 750 ti, for playing some games (medium settings only, most likely), there's not much to upgrade.

You should consider saving up for another system, realistically.

Especially, if you want to upgrade, or learn to upgrade, if you have an OEM branded system, then maybe it's time to step up to a custom-built rig.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

I'd have to agree. Any money upgrading that system would be better saved towards a modern PC.

Totally agree. You won't even be able to upgrade the RAM any further unless your motherboard has more than 4 slots.

Buy a GTX750Ti now and start saving for a new computer. The GTX750Ti won't affect everyday usage much but will give you better gaming performance. When you save up for a new computer you can simply transfer your GTX750Ti into it.

Thanks for the recommendation. Is there anyway for me to know if the 750 will be compatible with my motherboard before I purchase it? Other than opening it up of course.

The requirements are not very high. Doesn't even need PCIE 2.0
