What upgrades can I do, or restart entirely?
http://www.pcworld.com/product/382687/emachines_et183107.html?p=specs#specs.graphics
For about $400-$600, what upgrades could I make( For gaming such as Crysis or TF2),
or would it be better to attempt to build one that could be better for that price?
Thanks.

Is everything in the excellent category compatable?
(As in no problems that I should encounter?)
How about CyberPower?
If he wish to build an entirely new computer, the only thing he's probably going to salvage is the HDD, ODD, and the case. RAM, mobo, processor, and PSU is something that you aren't going to be reusing.
An upgrade like this maybe.

Of course, minus the peripherals and probably the OS, you could build a better computer than what you have now overall for $600.

Yes, an Intel Pentium E5400 Dual-core is a single processor. This isn't a dual-Xeon setup or something like that that uses a motherboard like [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131817]this[/url].
one processor?

Thank you,
I was having a hard time understanding why I couldn't just add a few things but if the power supply if an issue,
adding a graphics card, ram, etc, would just make that worse. Is there anything I could salvage from this computer
and add it onto a newer one?
For those saying restart:
$600 couldn't improve what I already have? I feel I just need a new graphics card and possibly some RAM.
What would restarting add on that I couldn't do now?
I would suggest building a new one. For about ~600, you can make a pretty decent one that can run those games.

I would restart.
