Hi Chris,

 

If you are thinking of upgrading it for gaming, I would suggest not to go ahead with it. The motherboard only supports Pentium4 cpus which is a 1-core CPU. This is very slow compared to today's entry level pcs. Upgrading the graphic card will not help much since the bottleneck will be the CPU.
