The computer I have from walmart has the specs, amd 64 3800+, integrated 6100 graphics on motherboard and 1 gb of ram. How much should I spend to upgrade it for playing most new games on medium settings? I think the card has to be small in size also and the power supply need to be upgraded from a 250w one. Wouldnt any graphics card make a dramatic difference?

      Looking at the processor and graphics, I don’t think anything can make a major difference, due to the graphic card being integrated, meaning that it’s permanently stuck to the motherboard. Also, if it only comes with 1 GB RAM, it’s a fair chance that it can only hold 2 sticks, or if you’re lucky, 4 sticks. Otherwise, the processor is not able to play any recent games.

      If you want a gaming pc, either build a new one from scratch off of or buy a decent one for $800 from a local retailer like Best Buy or Fry’s Electronics, which should be able to get a pretty decent gaming desktop, and fulfills your requirements.
