Old Pc Help

[Super Fluffy]

I have an old(ish) HP desktop computer and I find myself playing games on it a lot, but for newer and more graphically inclined games I cant run them at all even at lowest settings. I need help on how to cheaply improve my computer to make it at least be able to run games like Overwatch for Cs:Go at around 30+ frames on medium at the very least.

Thank you!

1. Central Oklahoma

2. Possibly

3. Hopefully less than $200

 

This upgrade is supposed to be temporary so I can play games decently until I build a new PC

Thank you!

although that is the model it doesnt give us the specifics of what Hardware you actually have. 

 

at very least a screen shot of your computer properties.

or jsut search system and screen that . 

 

 

UPDATE:

But a short answer is a GPU ,

My friends has an a8 (you have an a10-5700) which performed OK but then he bought a Zotac 750ti $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500349

 

and maybe some more Memory I think you have 4GB 8 would be better 16 would be PLenty

ok so correction you have 8 Gb of Ram . 

so the Proc you have is only a 2 core /4 thread which is ok but in higher titles it will struggle. 

so here are your CPU choices that fit your socket

this would prolly be your best bet -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113332

 

and GPU i would really really recommend that zotac I linked before it requires no more power pins and only a 300w PSU which im pretty sure you got. 

 

 

if you do both your looking at $200ish bucks. 

 

also an ssd will really help speed for booting/and the games you want to run fast 

 

i use these adata's and havent had a problem

this is the best gpu you can get without needing external power

the adatas are outclassed by muskin eco3. for the same price, ~25% better speeds overall.

 

also, cpu upgrades will not give noticable improvment on that socket.

pick up a GTX 750 ti from newegg for $105:

asus has a 950 that runs off pcie power, so no need for 750 tis anymore
