Looking to upgrade my computer
I'm using the Gateway DX 4710 (Gateway Support - DX4710 Gateway DX4710 Desktop Series) as my main computer. I want to be able to play most modern games on it, but I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading this computer I got in 2008.
My system specs are (Let me know if I missed anything):
Intel Core2 Quad @ 2.40GHz
6 GB of DDR2 RAM
Intel G33 Express Chipset
Gateway G33M05G1 Motherboard
Of course, my main worry is getting a new video card.
As for games, I'd like to play Battlefield 3, Skyrim, and any other 'modern games' at low-medium settings at 1680x1050 resolution and an average of 30+ FPS.
Any recommendations on what I should upgrade on my computer?
My budget is around 300$, but I'd like to stay as low as possible.
Thanks.
