|  HP a6013w Desktop PC w/ Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor 820
I am new to Windows Vista. I am getting the HP a6013w Desktop PC w/ Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor 820. I would like to upgrade it to a good game machine for games that will soon be out in the USA. For starters I would like to put in a better video card and maybe more RAM. Can somebody point out the best way to upgrade this pc and what parts I will need to do this? This is a link to the pc I want to upgrade. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=5707023 . |

OK...how much are you paying for this?...because that link you showed doesn't work. Trust me, for the amount of money, you're paying for that, we can suggest a better build. Walmart is the not the place to be buying computers.
