Dear friends,
I have a compaq CQ3420 desktop pc with configuration is as follows-
1. CPU- Pentium dual core E5500,2.80 Ghz.
2. RAM- 1GB single channel DDR3, 400 Mhz (6-6-6-15)
3. MOTHERBOARD- FOXCONN 2A8C (CPU 1),Intel G41 Express chipset 256 MB on board graphics
4. PSU- 250 W output
5. OS- Windows XP Pro, SP 3

I want to upgrade this pc as an average gaming rig so that I can play almost every game in minimum settings. Please suggest me better upgradable components in details mentioning brands name. I don't want to change my cpu and motherboard. I got my system information by Speccy.

I am confused about my RAM. is it DDR2 or DDR3? Please suggest me a good gaming configuration. I am eagerly waiting your reply.THANKS

Wrong section. Ask in Hardware section to get replies.

Bro you need at least 4 gb of ram 2 gb graphic card and a decent psu these are main things for gaming i think.

but which RAM & GPU, you didn't give details.my pc is outdated and new components may bottleneck so please suggest me particular ram & gpu.

You were using ddr3 so ddr3 4 gb 800 mhz will be best and for graphic card purchase nvdia gforce.

Tell us about your budget so we can suggest better.

Else this
2gb ddr2 ram ~1k
HD6670 1GB GDDR5 MSI/Sapphire ~5k
Corsair VS450 2.2k

And yea, wrong section

ask in the hardware section or ask mods to move the thread there.
