can the "dell dhm" easily be upgraded into a modern gaming pc?

Cesar

I'm recently moving on to PC gaming, since consoles are going downhill. Will I have to get new parts? If yes, then what new parts do you recommend? What tools will I need to make the changes? By the way money isn't really a problem, so feel free to tell me about the best things available.

Answer
Hi Cesar,

Gaming systems prevalent today have the latest chipset, a large power supply, powerful processor with up to 6 cores, 16-32 GB of DDR3 memory and multiple GDDR5 video cards that support latest OpenGL and ActiveX versions with as much graphics memory as possible and latest ports to connect a HD or 3D display.

Upgrading an old desktop to these specifications would mean virtually replacing everything on the old system. Your old system might not support the new components. You may have to replace the power supply, motherboard, processor, memory, video cards, hard drive and probably even the chassis. Therefore, it would be less of an upgrade and more of a new build. It might actually make more sense to leave the old system as it is, maybe sell it or use it elsewhere, and build a new gaming rig with new parts.

If you want an OEM gaming system, you may check the Alienware series of gaming systems. As budget is not a constraint, you can get the latest and most powerful one on offer. Check the link below to explore:

Cam I run the PC game Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition on my Dell E310?

kyle

I have a basic Dell E310 that has never been upgraded and I don't have the option right now to upgrade it or get a new computer. Will I be able to run Oblivion on it? I don't care if it has to run on the lowest setting just as long as it runs smoothly. I have Sims 2 and it runs fine on it.

Thank you for the help!

Answer
try here to see if your pc can run the game
select a game from dropdown list and scan
http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/
it scans your pc to see if it can run the game.
always do this before buying a game
if it barely passes the test then the game still might run slowly.
you want it to pass easily
this is also just a guide. you must check the recommended requirements against your pc

edit. just looked at your specs.
i very much doubt that pc will run oblivion.
the intel 900 is very bad for gaming.
