    Hi i recently Bought a Roxio Game capture Device , But my Desktop is not good enough to run the software and capture device at the same time , CPU runs @ 100% when i try .

    So i was thinking of selling my PC and upgrading to a newer one on a low budget , Here are the specs .

    Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz
    2gb Ram

    Asus , AH3450 Video Card , 1080p HDMI

    DirectX® 9.0c compatible graphics card or higher, sound card
    2GB free hard drive space for installation. 10+ GB free recommended for video recording.
    Windows Media Player 11 or higher
    Internet explorer 7 or 8
    Internet connection required for capture, registration, product updates and tutorials. Any Internet charges are the user's responsibility
    One available USB 2.0 port

    Newer PC

    i think your better off having one built for you brand new.
    how much would your budget be if you sold your old comp?
    and how much is this newer pc your looking at?
