So i play on a laptop, but i have this desktop that gets me 30 fps in 5v5s and slow loading time. I was wondering if i could tweak as in buy a couple of new parts like gfx and processor or what ever is needed to get about 170 fps in 5v5s. Budget would be around 200-450. Here's the pc http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-pavilion-media-center/4505-3118_7-31963386.html

Thanks in advance. It may sound stupid but i know nothing about pcs lol

Upgrading that would be pointless. Old system with poor parts.. you would have to replace a lot of it

Will be easily good enough for Crossfire and a multitude of other games, especially for your price range.

Get 2 sticks for dual channel instead of one. Other than that, good enough PC for CF.

DO you mean get 2 Mushkin Blackline 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory sticks? About how much fps would i get in 5v5s? Could i upgrade any part here to get at least 125fps or higher when recording at like 50 or 60 fps? Really appreciate it. Thanks guys!


And the graphics card is not available. I'm most likely looking to get this around the end of march, begging of april.

Damn dude i had that same PC 9 years ago.

But yeah upgrading it is worthless. I bet you have a hard time even logging in on that thing.

Might as well just buy a new pc bud, buying / building a new pc would last longer than just adding some parts. Anyways there's not much you can do to that pc

Thought I put 2 in. Oh well. 4GB is usually enough for his needs.

I would highly suggest this.. its within your stated budget and probably the cheapest option.

If you were to upgrade your CPU, you would need to get a new motherboard aswell as a decent CPU would not be supported by your current motherboard.

Then you would probably need a new power supply for the motherboard and CPU (your old pc doesnt specify what wattage your one is atm.. even if it may be enough, its old so you are at an extreme risk of power failure... so a new one is needed...

Then since you upgraded your CPU.... you need new RAM. 7GB may be enough on that old one.. but its not fast enough for the new CPU so that would have to upgraded too.


So you would basically need a whole new PC.


My link also offers a new graphics card for you meaning you can play more graphically powerful games. You get away with a lot of todays games on pc... not ultra high settings but you could play them easily.

About thepower supply, mine was fried like 2 weeks ago, and my uncle fixed it adding a brand new one. Im not sure how i can check what kind it is, and thanks for the build. But for the gfx it says out of stock and didn't even put the price. SO im going to assume it wont be 284$ when the gfx is added in lol.



Edit: nvm, the gfx is back in stock. The total price is 385 which isn't bad. Now, if i do end up getting these parts, do they all get mailed in from the same place? And how the fck do i put it all together lmfaooo.

Only way to check your power supply is to open your case panel and check the specifications on it. Two things you DON'T want to cheap out on is a motherboard and power supply.

If you order everything from the same place, then yeah, they will get mailed in from the same warehouse, unless the said warehouse is out of stock on a specific item and they happen to have that item at a different warehouse.

There are videos all over YouTube on how to assemble a computer. It's child's play. It's stupidly easy. If you can build something with legos, you can put a PC together. Nothing more than securing things down and plugging things in.

Open up your case and have a look or ask your uncle. You need at least a 450 Watt PSU.

Its a perfect first build for you. You arent even restricted to CF with this.. you can play current gen games at a nice frame rate also.


It depends if you buy them in the same place but more often then not, they will be delivered on the same day anyway if they all offer the same postage options.

Its extremely easy to put it together. Each component comes with instructions anyway r you can go online and there are MANY guides for you to read or watch.

Yea, ill just buy a new power supply . And thanks for the build. I already have like 100 saved up, and then my birthday comes so maybe another 2-3 hundred. The only problem is i might go to Europe so i have to save my money lol
