Posted November 22, 2015 U could get an ssd that would speed up boot up and ur PC will respond quicker. A video card could help but nothing too powerful (like really not powerful) to avoid bottlenecks. RAM could also be upgraded.

Posted November 22, 2015 A lot of people were putting 750ti's in prebuilts because of the low power consumption.

Posted November 22, 2015 An SSD would be the only upgrade worth making imo.

Posted November 22, 2015 can you double check the socket on the mobo? AM2 seems to not even be used with Athlon X2s unless this is a special OEM version. either way, you could go with an AMD 860k, FM2+ board, faster DDR3 RAM and a GTX 950. That would be a really good upgrade for very little investment PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchantCPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor ($68.99 @ NCIX US)Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88M PRO3+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($56.99 @ SuperBiiz)Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory ($47.89 @ OutletPC)Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 950 2GB Video Card ($138.99 @ SuperBiiz)Total: $312.86Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2015-11-22 11:58 EST-0500 If it fits that is.... if not, there is some great FM2+ ITX boards that definetively should fit. you may need some PCIe risers and shit thought...
