Do I upgrade my laptop with no gpu?

[Jordyboy3]

I own an acer aspire laptop with intel HD 3000 graphics, I am thinking of putting an ssd, 8gb of ram and a new i5 processor I'll spare the details as I only want to know if it's worth it and know how to buy parts and how to install them. As it will still have intagrated graphics will the new parts be even improve proformance that much I don't want to spend my money and get nothing back. Am I'm better off buying a new laptop? I can muster all the upgrade parts for like £80 which is considerably less than a new laptop.

 

P.s. I know I'm not running anything special on this either way I do have a dest op with a much better spec this is just for por table use.

i personally think you should move over to a desktop, because it is not realistic to be gaming without a discrete gpu

I wouldn't spend much on the RAM. You probably don't need to upgrade past 4GB for anything you're doing.

The SSD would be the biggest improvement by far, and that's probably the only thing I'd bother installing.
However, make sure you look at reviews for each option before you buy. SSDs can have a massive impact on battery life.

Except it says in the OP that he wants something portable...

Not everyone just uses computers to play games

Cool thank you I still will need to upgrade the ram becouse I only have 3gb buy I deffinatly will get an ssd as it does look like the better option but regards the cpu will it not make that much of a difference? And thanks I do have a desktop pc that I use for more demanding games.

What i5 do you want to slot in and what is in the system? And are you sure it's rPGA and not rBGA?

 

Good RAM can improve a lot, but I don't think you need to go balls to the wall.

I know what I'm doing I diddnt list the full spec becouse I knew someone would say something like the next pRocester up is better price to proformance. The i5-430m is the one I bought. I also need a 320gb ssd on the cheap any ideas?
