it's a Dell, and here is the hardware and stuff. I'm thinking this is the reason i cannot play dayz stand alone n stuff
intel g6950 2.80 ghz
4096 memory
Intel hd graphics card 1096 memory
can it be upgraded, or start new?

Those are the parts you would "upgrade"
I had similar specs from a PC I built a while back. Keep your case, your hard drives, monitor, PSU (if you can), etc...
The major components you generally need to upgrade are the 3 you listed. You will most likely need to upgrade the motherboard too since I'm pretty sure the one you have for your current parts isn't ideal for the new parts you'll be buying.
I upgraded all of my components roughly a year ago, and I haven't kept up that well with the new stuff, so I may not be the best person to ask for specific Vid Cards, Processors etc...
I'm sure someone on here will know exactly what you need.
1) Decide what you have that you can keep
2) For help choosing parts, we would need to know your budget
3) Aside from running DayZ stand alone, what else would you be using this "new" PC for?
ETA: If all of the above is common knowledge to you, I apologize
If not, it's just a matter of picking out the parts you want, then simply plugging them into the motherboard. Putting together a PC yourself (especially when you already have your case and everything else) is ridiculously easy.

You usually have to upgrade the PSU with a stock model computer when upgrading the components being talked about.

Video card should be upgraded first. What's your budget?

I'd probably sell it and get you a secondary XB1

It probably could play games at console quality. It wouldn't be able to render actual PC graphics and physics.

i hoped i could just get a new motherboard, processor, video card and memory.
but, to get it with running games like skyrim, and others to quality graphics and speed, i need a new one?
i wish i knew how to build them, i can put a simple dealio together, but you guys get into water cooled shite and other dealios and i'm lost.
its 3 years old? so i figured i'd be behind, way behind.

You're best off building a new system then. What kind of budget did you have for these parts?
Posted on 12/25/13 at 8:37 pm to bluebarracuda
what kind of money am i looking at, for something that can run skyrim with mods and very good graphic mods?
i only use skyrim as an example, because it seems some of the mods can bang your video card pretty hard

damn, i have about $5500, so i'm stuck with this computer.

For $500 you build a brand new PC that's pretty damn good. Of course the more you spend, the better you can make it. If you check out the PC sticky thread at the top, the last page or so we are helping someone put together a ~$500 build
