How should I upgrade my computer?

[williamk]

So I want to play stuff like Fallout 3, The Witcher, More rpg than fps.
I don't really want to go out a buy a new one, i just want to get the parts necessary to improve my gaming. Here's my stuff:

Windows Vista™ Home Premium
System ModelDG965RY
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz
(RAM)2.00 GB
NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS

I can put stuff in my computer easily enough but i don't necessarily know exactly what each part is responsible for as far as functionality goes. Any suggestions?

Your processor is not bad. Not the best, but not bad.

How many slots do you have for ram? if you have some free slots, Vista 32bit supports 3GB of ram, and Vista64bit supports 8GB. Get a good video card with at least 512MB space, a good monitor, and you are set.

Buy a video card, with them specs you should be good.
