Answer to previous comment: The processor is a piece of hardware mounted into the motherboard inside of your computer. It's an actual piece that you can touch.



I do not believe that you would need to upgrade anything else.Processor upgrade help please :)?
i wouldn't waste money on a Quad 8400 @ 2.66mhz; an E8400 @ 3ghz would be more suitable for gaming thus far, and cheaper! i would be tempted to spend money rather on a decent graphics card. the one you have is pretty low-end.
I don't know what's a processor is, but have you try download it online? That's how i usually update/upgrade my stuff.



Hope i help :)Processor upgrade help please :)?
If you want to game on Full HD then you want to upgrade GPU too. I'd save up till I coulod affoerd P67 motherboard, 6950 and i5-2500K.
