Thinking of upgrading my computer for Easter

[fredlocks]

I am thinking of upgrading my computer for Easter, but I want to keep it on the cheaper side of things. Currently it is a brand new Acer Aspire L3600, I haven't chaged anything with it, (screenshot of devices attached).

The part that I want to upgrade is the Graphics card, but I think that I would have to upgrade the Mother board, and case all at the same time, if that's so then it is going to be a costly decision I make.

Can anyone make me some suggestions on what I should get, I live in Australia, so preferably items that can be bought in Australia.

The games I want to be able to play are games like Crysis, Bioshock, and Halo 2.

Thanks~Aidan

I looked up you model computer, which was somewhat hard due to Acer's Global site being down. but anyway in order to upgrade it you would have to upgrade the motherboard (which in turn means you have to upgrade your CPU, case, RAM, pretty much everything. The best and Probably most cost effective solution would be to just buy another computer. I also looked up some specs on your current Intel GMA X300 integrated GPU and found that it could possible work for the games you want to play, but I will tell you that you will most likely experience very noticeable Lag. So I'm sticking with the answer of look for a new computer. I know that HP and Alienware are very good machines for games. and they also do well for everyday office type work as well.
