    yep, get a new PC. There more the one reason, I i get the right, you have the super slim case so it will be hard to upgrade. Depending what you will do, some upgrade will work. If your thinking to boot your PC for gaming the forget about it and get something new with PCI-E or a Console.

    Yeah, it would work...but I'd save the 50 bucks and put it towards a newer computer. You could even save some of the parts from the old computer, such as the dvd/cd drives, the fans, the power supply, the case, maybe even the CPU.

    Yeah just get a friend to help you build a new computer, you can build a fairly cheap computer instead of spending money on an older pc that won`t be worth it in the long run.
