Hello, whats happening. ive been browsing site for the last couple days now, trying to find a decent forum site. So far this one seems all right. Anyways, im pretty new still when it comes to pc's. i dont know all the terms and what not. just trying to up my game. i started gaming with some new friends who took my pc gaming to the next level. recently my pc was really starting to show its age, and some work was needing to be done. so i spent some time last weekend, and this weekend working on my pc. then i decided that i wanted to paint my first box. well, my rig isnt anything to write home about. i did what most people do when they buy their first pc. spent way to damn much! currently im running a dell dimension 5150. i know i know. i got dell'd. i got it. ive upgraded my video card twice, put in an audio card, maxed out my ram (or rather what my motherboard will handle) and i just upgraded to 7. ive gone pretty close to as far as i can go without swapping out the mobo. which is my next buy. anyways, hit me up. hopefully i cant find the answers i need here.

Welcome to the world of OCN! Glad you picked the right forum!
Your PC specs seems to be ok. I researched it and it had pretty decent parts and expandability options. But if you truly want a PC gaming experience, you want to go all out, custom made! You will find many resources on this site to help you with all your computer problems etc.
PS.
add me on Steam(same name as OCN handle) if you wanna play games and I can introduce you into some steam groups/games that you haven't played before!
