Good afternoon, I am trying to upgrade my Optiplex Small Form Factor because it is the only PC I own, I do not have the time or resources to build my own from scratch, and don't have the budget to buy an "over the counter PC". I am also having trouble doing normal tasks like opening files, folders and loading internet pages without it taking a long time. My computer is completely clean from viruses "at least that's what my computer guy says" so I just figured the parts have run their course. All day I have been browsing this forum and many others to find the best parts my PC can handle. I Believe I have found them, but I would like your honest opinion on, if you think there are better parts I could get. I have no intentions of buying a new PC all together or building one from scratch, and my computer guy said it would be much easier for him if I just bought some upgrades. So if you think the other two options would be my best bet, I'm very sorry but I just can't do that. My budget is $200, but I am willing to go to $250 and not a penny more. My current parts for my GX260 are as followed. CPU: Intel Pentium D 830 GPU: Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME & Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family Ram: 1GBx1 PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM & 512mbx3 PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM If you would like to see each detail of my computer, thanks to CPU-Z click on the Spoiler. Spoiler: click to toggle I listed those three computer parts first because those are the ones I want to change. Though if anything else needs to be change, either it be the power supply or what not. Feel free to say, for I myself will not be doing the changes. My Computer guy will be the one upgrading my PC. My new parts for my GX260 and their prices are as followed. CPU: Intel PentiumŪ D Processor 960 [$50] GPU: XFX ATI Radeon HD6670 [$90] RAM: Kingston 1GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM [$5] --- To replace one of the 512mb sticks. Windows XP can only handle about 3GB. If you would like to see the places where I will be ordering these parts from click on the Spoiler. Spoiler: click to toggle Each part added up comes out to be $145. Plus the $50 I am going to pay my computer guy to set up the parts for me, the cost adds up to $195. If I need to buy more parts for this to work, I will. However, keep in mind I don't intent on spending much over my Max budget. If you all would check to make sure everything is alright with my parts or can be alright with some additional parts, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you for your time, have a nice day.

Hm, those should be compatible, and they'll probably give you a decent speed boost, just don't expect to be running any high end games or anything like that on it. |
