Upgrading a Pre-Built?

[Jeremiahly]

So i wanna build a PC for my mother who deals with my bullshit and i have a budget of about 100USD because i'm also building my self a PC soon.

 

Found this Dell Optiplex 790 on Ebay Kinda like a 2 hour drive from me and i was thinking how can i make it faster for what she does?

 

She does real estate and basically just needs decent speeds for emailing and printing things along with uploading pictures from a camera, She said she doesn't do photo editing and her PC is literally ANCIENT and i wanna put a bullet in it

 

So should i buy like RAM and an SSD? And what would be decent budget options for around 40$?

Instead, just put an SSD in it. My mom literally uses a MacBook with a core 2 duo but my dad put an SSD in it and it's still more than usable today. It really is just the SSD that makes a lightning speed PC.

 

The only thing that would make it obsolete is that it was so old that it doesn't support SATA.

Honestly im not sure what's all in her PC but when i saw that things ANCIENT i mean the thing is really old it literally has like 3GB of ram and the CPU is always basically at 100%

Make sure you quote us so we can see your responses

 

Hit us with a CPU-Z screenshot or spec list, her PC might take a super cheap upgrade. You can find DDR2 and DDR3 on eBay for real cheap, so 2GB extra can just be tossed in, maybe you can get a really cheap dual core CPU or even quad core, and then the aforementioned SSD, and boom you're done.
