Require expert's help on replacing old computer's hardware

[dusksoul]

Thanks for sparing time to answer my question

After being looking at all the posts, i am still confused about the steps of replacing the old hardware from computers in order to improve the graphics. However instead of purchasing a new casing , i decided to upgrade the desktop i purchased years ago , Acer Aspire T310. I want to upgrade it to play diablo 3 at average decent details quality. But i also do know that this is quite a old model. Is it still possible for a upgrade? any experts know what parts that i may have to replace without costing much?

no point reusing. all the parts are obsolete.

Yup nothing to upgrade there. Throw away bah...

 

[dusksoul]

huh not even a single item can be used??
then can i use the casing?? or i have to buy a new one

 

[MoneyFace =p]

Throw away everything, OEM chassis are always hard to work with...

buy new one better. more shioks.

 

[MoneyFace =p]

Yup $600+ can already get you something capable inclusive of Windows.

The advice given above is good. Your parts are really obsolete. Also their casing are not generic. Therefore your new motherboard, power supply etc might not fit cause the screw holes are different.
