    Hello everyone!
    I have this stock pc: Acer Aspire ax1300 (i know nothing much)
    So recently of all these awesome games coming out I want to upgrade it.
    Im wondering what should I get if I want the best gaming performance for pretty cheap price.
    I can buy only 2 things RAM/Graphics card or Processor/RAM.
    I was looking at evga gtx 550 ti graphics card and 2gb kingston ram so then I would have 4gb of ram and a pretty decent graphics card, but what about processor then?
    The one inside the pc now is 2.4ghz amd athlon x2 dual core.. Will I be able to get the most out of my graphics card even though my processor is really bad? Maybe I should upgrade my processor and ram?
    Current Graphics card is Nvidia 8200GT.
    Oh yeah I will also buy 430watt corsair power supply If I end up getting the gtx 550 and ram ( I think that should be enough)
    Thanks :)

    How much are you looking to spend on upgrades?

    You really should upgrade the CPU RAM GPU and mobo if you want a decent gaming PC for the great new titles coming out. I could price one out for you for around $430, let me know if you're interested.

    I would just hold off till you can upgrade everything at once.
