I bought this computer from someone off of craigslist like 2 or so years ago, and now want to upgrade it but have no idea where to start. I saved the info from the ad, thankfully cause i would have gotten lost trying to figure out what everything was. Im not afraid of opening the case up and doing things myself its just been a really long time since I've actually worked on a computer. Its more for gaming than anything else, I've had microsoft flight simulator X ever since it came out and have never been able to play it so I'd like to get to that point before a new one comes out
thanks in advance for any suggestions
