[QUOTE="orb_03_2006"]I found it!! Here's the model" http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01982717&product=4124974ShadowDeathX

You can upgrade the CPU without needing to change the motherboard. You def. need a new power supply. I'm not sure how much GPU space you have, but you might be able to fit that card in there. Air flow is bad though. I suggest a new case.

Thanks! Yeah, I'll need to get a new computer table. It's fine now, but if I'm gonna play games, I'll need a lot more air flow space. So that case is a sure thing. And the power supply, YES! I need at least a 500-650W, correct?

I checked it out. I know I need at 500W power supply, as mine is only a 250. Not sure on anything else.

Darn! It's been a pain for me to even TRY to find this stuff. I know it's discontinued and all, but it's all I can find. Also, it's an HP Pavilion, not a Dell, my bad. I've been trying my best to find it. I tried Amazon to see if they had any listings, but no such luck. I have my receipt, but it's not with me at the moment. All I can tell you is that it's an Hp Pavilion made in 2010. :(

Oh, and I have never tinkered with the interior since I've had it, so the interior should have plenty of space.

That I can't tell you, as I don't have my specs on hand. I do know I have an Athlon II processor (2.4 GHz), NVIDIA GeForce 6550 graphics card, 4 GB RAM (DDR2 I believe), 500 GB Hard Drive, and that it was manufactured by Dell in 2010 (It came with Winsows 7). I hope that can help.

I bought my desktop computer in 2010. Which, I don't think, is too old. Anyways, I was wondering. If I buy new equipment for it, will it still be compatible?

I have my eye on an EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti and an AMD Phenom II x4 processor.

I'm really new to pc gaming and I am still saving up money for this stuff.

My real question is, will it work with a system that is 2 years old?

Technology is always changing and I would hate to have to buy a brand new motherboard because my current one is "out of date."

Oh yeah, and it's a Dell. I don't know much else, as I don't have my pc right now. I'm using a friend's. Please help!
