improve PC with hardware

[dmenace816]

whats the correct way to improve my PC with hardware as long as it isnt way to expensive a reasonabl price to make my computer faster and a little more space for files programs and all that...i know the parts would depend on the PC type i have a eMachine T4010 ive had it for about 2 yrs the condition is okay its fast not super fast but its definalety not slow or lags a little bit to me .....i dont get serious problems with it but it can always be better

I had that myself shit when i threw a 8800gts or gtc or somecrap (512mb g-card) into that baby with no extra ram LOL it must have gotten 5-10 x faster and the startup went from maybe 5 mins (5-10 little icons loaded) to less than 1 minute with some extra little nvidia icons but when in games I could tell I needed more ram. Also the heat produced must have been at least 120 degrees c \ with my case open i couldnt keep my feet neat it.

BTW I took the 8800gtc or w/e back and build my own computer very easily

I think this is it at least its same specs as mine was

they say every 2 years everything computer wise will double so your computer is already outdated. but if ur having slow processes as in connecting to the internet or just opening word, its because your RAM is being used up so go with larger RAM (easy fix only about 100 depending on where you go) but they also released at best buy a terabyte extrernal Hard drive for only 300 bucks so you could pull all those useless files off your computer and put them on there for relatively cheap and the day you fill up a terabyte on your presonal computer is the day I die.
