danielaung Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hey guys, i got a few general questions to ask. I prefer PC gaming to consoles but the only problem with PC's is that when i buy a game they dont always work because my pc lags out way too much even though i may meet the minimum requirments. I braught this PC from packard bell around 4 years ago, only problem is i cant upgrade it because the bastards made it so the motherboard cant be changed around with new graphics cards :@ So i would like to know from the experts, correct me if im wrong here bu if i buy one from dell custom made, i can still upgrade certain parts I.E soundcards ect. So what should i buy to play top of the range games such as empire total war and napoleon total war, on a decent leel without freezing like a old grandma deciding wtf to do :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredTacos Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 You can upgrade most pre-built computers these days. How much $$ u got is the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscian Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 when you go to buy a prebuilt machine look at expanion slots in the techspecs tab/section. You want at least this listed below. Expansion PCI Slots (Available/Total) 1 x PCI Express x16 1 x PCI Express x4 1 x PCI if it doesn't meet these requirements it is most likely not upgradable on the graphics card or sound. Look at this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229191 youll see a details tab. All prebuilt PC sellers dell/gateway etc will have something similar.
