Q. I have a dell vostro v13 and I was planning on selling it to get a 1500 dollar gaming computer by Christmas. I would be able to sell it for 400 on ebay. I travel from my mom to my dads house every week so the laptop was useful but I really need a gaming desktop. My dad doesn't want me to sell it but I think I should. My mom doesn't care if I sell it.
A. Almost every answer here is not relevant to the question :-) If you really want to play games you surely need gaming desktop, and not max or alienware - buy custom built one. You can actually buy cheaper computer that $1500 one and still will be able to play all games on max, today the best price point is around $1000-1200. Get Intel i5 based one, with 4+GB RAM and good video card like at least GTX 460 and it will be a perfect one. Check link below:
How to turn my computer into a gaming computer?
Q. I was just given a Dell XPS 400 computer for free by a family member. I want to see if I can turn it into a gaming computer. I'm not sure about the processor. I need help! Haha. What can I do, if anything?
A. Yes you can, not a great one but it can get the job done. Most of these computer are built so that they only work with specific processors so there isnt much you can do about that. Make sure it has at least 2gigs of RAM. Most importantly is the video card, the stock ones are really bad and will need replacing, the better card the better it will perform, but no point in getting top of the line since the performance will just be bottle necked by other parts in your computer. However you can always transfer the video card in to a new computer if you upgrade later.
I actually had an XPS 410 that I started with, upgraded the Video card, then RAM, then motherboard and case, slowly upgrading piece by piece till it was a completely different computer. Its a good solution if you don't want to spend hundreds all at one time.
I will repeat DONT BUY A NEW PROCESSOR! mine came with a core 2 duo 2.3ghz and I bought a core 2 duo 3.1ghz and it couldn't supply the power requirements so I had to wait till I replaced the motherboard. Also while a video card can always be transfered to a new computer, the socket type of this computer means that you will be buying an outdated processor and if you go to upgrade you will have to throw it away.
