I want to upgrade my hp pavilion t560a pc...what cpu, RAM and video cards are ok to put in it?

i have a Pentium 42.8Ghz cpu, a 512Mb DDR SDRAM and nVidia GeForce FX5100 video card..i'd like to upgrade these but HP wont provide specifics...anyone help??|||im gonna assume due to the age of your desktop the power supply that comes with it is extremly small (200 to 300watt) and nowdays any graphic card even only 60 bucks need a good 400 watt +, so the easiest way would just be the ram, u can use this cpu z program and go to spd tab to check out what type your ram is, for example mine is DDR PC3200 http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g280/h…



you wanna find out which one is yours and buy more of that kind of ram, it doesnt matter what mhz as long the pc3200 or whatever match and it is DDR not ddr2 or ddr3

otherwise upgrading video card is not worth it for you yet cause u need to buy new power supply along with it and more ram cause you should at least have 1 to 2 gb for a decent graphic card to work well.|||Forget upgrading the CPU !
