How do I make this garbage box (Acer Aspire XC-704g) into something better? There's not a lot of room for upgrades, since it's so damn small. I'll gladly take any advice you /g/uys can give me other than something like "buy a better computer", don't have the funds atm.

Fuck at least post the full specs + how big is the case..

Looks like a Celeron Dual-Core (N3050)

Sorry Anon, you gonna just have to throw that paper weight away. That processor is the slowest Intel has to offer, and its embedded on the motherboard.
>>
>>56413068

You know what? I googled that shit.
There is no point in trying to update that pc

Celeron Processor, Max 8GB of ram DDR3, Barely space for 1 or 2 HDDs, and the power supply is 65W ?! I dont even know how thats possible.

If you need an upgrade you have to buy a full new computer, i would say 500$ for entry range, 800-1000$ at least for medium/high end stuff.

Save and use PC part picker.

Shit, guess I'll start saving then. Any recommendations on what TO go for? I'm a technological infant so help is appreciated.

>dual core with up to 8 GB of RAM
>"throw it away it's garbage"

millenials.

Run XP or even Windows 2000. Use K-Meleon, Pale Moon or Seamonkey for your web browser. Disable nonessential services running (http://optimizingpc.com/optimize/windowsservices.html).

Use Logical Increments and PC Part Picker, Wait for sales like Black Friday, etc.

*Invest in something that will last i recommend even if you spend a little more money you dont want to save 50$ and having your pc get 1-2 less years of life.

*Get at least a Bronze Power Supply with bit extra power than what you need and decent brand you dont want to lose your components because of a bad PS.

*GPU > CPU if you want to game.

*AMD is cheaper but usually runs hotter and uses more electricity.

*Nvidia is a little more expensive, You get better temps, less electricity usage, but nvidia drops driver support really quick after new cards come out.

*Intel CPUs > AMD CPUs

Start saving.

What are you trying to do with it, video game? Just wait until the PS4 slim comes out and buy a $150/$200 normal PS4 on eBay. If you actually are a poorfag it'll be a lot cheaper than spending a thousand dollars on a PC that'll be obsolete in a year thanks to broken console ports.
>>
>>56413475
Alright, thanks a lot.
>>56413540
I want a PC over a console because I do other things than video games, which would also like to do.
