Replace the RAM. As you can see it is 2GB x 4. 4 DIMMS. It will run faster if it is 2 x 4GB. 2 DIMMS. Also Replace the Proceccer. It is not good at all.

I recommend you build your own computer, since ibuyfailure is a Ripoff.

May I know your budget?

Also watch this videos.

I bought my computer from CyberPowerPC, kind of like iBuyPower, and I only spent $50 more then if I bought all of the components and made it myself. I would have liked to make it myself, but with such an expensive computer, I didn't want to risk it.

Yeah, you think they will invest $1000+ on a system and get only $50 profit?

I don't believe you.

Well with the inflation on the HDD's, it's over what I payed now, obviously. The HDD I payed $59.99 for is now $249.99.

Just for quick reference, my PC = Intel Core i5 2500k, Superclocked EVGA Nvidia GTX 570 1.2gb, 8gb Kingston-X RAM, 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD, 750 Watt Corsair TX PSU, Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Intel Mainboard, Azza Toledo Case + Windows 7 Home.

Bought for $1418.68 with Shipping.

Do the math. Sorry, I payed around $100 more. Still worth it, IMO. Like I said, it would be a good idea to build it for the knowledge and experience, I was just not up to it.
