What Needs Upgraded In My Gaming Desktop

How can I upgrade my laptop to make it a gaming PC?

If that Laptop is somewhat new (about 2 years or so), then:Upgrade RAM (4 GB min)Add/Upgrade Graphics Processor (512 MB min)If you wish, upgrade HDD too (nothing to do with Gaming).Consider to buy a good wireless Keyboard/Mouse combo. Should be helpful.

What should I upgrade for my gaming PC?

There’s no set rules because your upgrade priority would depend on your specs. For a decent gaming pc the tier would be GPU, CPU, RAM, PSU. In most situations GPU is the first priority but, it depends on the use case and your current PC build. If you have a 1080ti with an i3 and want to game at 1080p 240hz then ofc CPU should be upgraded. If you have i7 8700k+2080ti but 450w PSU then PSU should be upgraded. Generally the upgrades will go hand in hand though. Like if you have a mid tier build with a gtx 1060+i5 8400 and 500w PSU but want to upgrade the GPU to a 2080 ti then you’d need to upgrade the PSU along with getting the new gpu because the power consumption is too high.

Gaming Desktop; Future Upgrades?

CyberpowerPC is a good choice for customized systems.

Buying directly from their site is REALLY nice- you can ensure your computer comes with a strong enough power supply to support future graphics card upgrades, which is typically the big problem with buying low-cost systems from HP, Dell, Sony, Acer etc.

For example, this Dell is a nice starting point:

But it's only got a 300 watt power supply, so it can't be upgraded with serious gaming cards in the $100 and higher range. The best card you could stick in there is a GeForce GT440. Anything better would require buying a new power supply first.

How do I upgrade an office PC to a gaming PC?

I see the link to the specific ‘office PC’. Oh god… Please tell me you haven’t bought that PC… I mean, if it was given to you, I feel even worse, but still… There would be almost no point in getting it.Ohhhhhkay, let’s see… The 4 GB RAM is too little to even run a few tabs of Google Chrome on Windows 10 (that’s if you don’t want to spend extra to get the maximum of 8 GB), that CPU is ancient, there’s no dedicated graphics card, the hard drive is half the size normally expected in the modern world, and the monitor that comes with it isn’t even 1080p. So what we’re talking here, in order to make it even relatively feasible to run SOMETHING bigger than a DOS game, is a complete overhaul.Yep, you read that right: complete overhaul. By the time you’d finish ‘upgrading’, there’d be almost nothing left of the original. Maybe the case would stay, if it’s not too small, the power supply might be strong enough, and I guess the built-in card reader is pretty nifty, but everything else would be replaced. Yes, that includes the monitor.So really, it’d be more practical to either buy a completely different pre-built rig or just build something yourself from scratch.I’m honestly appalled that something as weak as that is still being sold… And from the looks of things, it’s not even for novelty or legacy stuff! It’s being sold under the expectation of being used! I… I just… Nope, I give up.

Should I buy a new PC or upgrade the parts to my pre-built gaming PC from Acer?

It's all really comes down to your budget.If you don't have one, well then go nuts and build yourself a brand new computer.If you do have a budget, think about what REALLY needs upgrades.Your GPU could use an upgrade, so look into a GPU that would fit into that budget. If something doesn't really need upgraded; just salvage it.
