Hellu, everyone.
So, as of about a year and a half ago I've been running off of the laptop I got for Christmas, and I've been mostly gaming on the xbox (for some reason :p). Now I'm beginning to switch to PC, I'm playing TF2 a lot more, I got games like Minecraft, you know, stuff like that. I'm starting to do more 3d stuff and game design. The kind gentlemen on IRC and I agreed that I should get a desktop. I figured that I need more power, which I guess means more ramz, a better graphics card and cpu, but I don't really know where to start.
But, the main question is: Would I be better off upgrading this deskop or just getting a new one? Keep in mind that I already have a functioning keyboard, speakers, mouse, and monitor.
I have commandeered a semi-old desktop that nobody else in my family uses, about 4 or 5 years old I think (not totally sure). It's a Dell Dimension E510.
