Trying to Upgrade my Dad's PC

[ScottALot]

Hey!
My dad's pretty freakin awesome, especially recently. I was thinking of upgrading his PC with some new hardware whether it be upgraded RAM or mroe HDD space. (I kinda want to do the RAM more)
His computer is an HP Pavilion a6600f PC with 3GB of RAm and a 320GB HDD. I was wondering what parts would work inside this build.
Thanks for posting!

He already has 3gb of memory. And unless he does memory intesive applications then he don't need more. The only thing I recommend doing is get a dedicated graphics card. What does he use the computer for anyway?

 

[ScottALot]

It's a business/entertainment computer. Nothing really extreme. Does an SSD sound like a good idea?

 

[johnb35]

Not really.

 

[ScottALot]

Ugh. What about... something to fit his extra 5.25in. bay?

 

[johnb35]

Memory card reader? Multimedia bay? Extra DVD drive/burner?

I would suggest you get your dad a dedicated video card. And a power supply to power the video card.

Get a nice case, and maybe a dedicated gpu and decent power supply.

I think I'm just gonna get the CD drive as he wouldn't want me doing anything too complicated with it.
