    Ok, I have an a6203w HP Pavilion Desktop
    This is a link to the specs

    I am interested in upgrading it to play games on, right now, I play World of Warcraft and that is it. I have had people tell me to upgrade RAM and a video card, but I have never done either of these, so I am new to it all.

    What would you suggest, I plan on getting 2-4 Gigs of Ram, but I have no idea on what video card I should get, how I would set it up, and what, if anything, has to be done to my Power Supply.

    ok. first thing to be updates HAS to be PSU. no cheap ones either. if you get a cheap one, your computer can catch fire and explode (and this is un UNDERSTATEMENT if you go for Q-TEC)

    what is your budget m8?

    Well, I am doing this in stages, so I say 400-800. I plan to buy each part at certain points before 09' hits. I should buy one part per month or two maybe.

    The corsair PSU should be your first upgrade. The CPU will do for now. You'll want to get more RAM, which is relatively cheap, then a new graphics card, which will be a bit more expensive.
