I have an old crappy PC. It's a Dell Inspiron 530. I've heard this are quite upgradeable, so here I am.
I know right now it has the Intel E2160 CPU, on the 0RY007 motherboard. It's only got the integrated graphics, and 3GB 667MHz RAM. And it has a 300W PSU.
I'm wondering if this thing can handle (as in the MOBO and all that), an upgrade to a Radeon 4650(That one I know it can do), an Intel Q8300 Quad Core, 550W PSU, and possibly a RAM upgrade, which it should be fine with (just 4 GB of 1333Mhz DDR3). I just got off the chat service with a Dell Representative, but I know they are just money whores, so I don't believe her. Anyways, lemme know if this ole girl can live again, or if she is doomed to be a slow crappy piece of poo.
Thanks!
