So I bought this pre-built computer last year and it's in need of some dire upgrades. The problem is, is that I don't know what upgrades the motherboard can take. I have the motherboard book but it doesn't say anything in it. The motherboard book says this on the front
H61MA-P35 (B3)/ H61M-P31 (B3)/
H61M-P23 (B3)/ H61M-P21 (B3)
I want to upgrade the processor and graphics card.
Current:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G620 @ 2.60GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.6GHz
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5450
What's your budget ?
Give us full specs, use speccy if you need to. I want to know the exact motherboard model, that manual is for 4 different models.

I'm pretty sure, after you update your BIOS, that the motherboard will support any 1155 socket CPU. I'd like to make sure, though, so post the model from speccy!
Also, look in your PC and give us a picture of the PSU (make sure the label is readable), or just tell us the model and brand.

Get this:

Get this Ram:

The PSU also looks like a disaster waiting to happen get this:

Save up some money and get this:

This is a bit of money for the upgrade, but I don't think you want to go cheaper than this. Really the Ram and the PSU unit should be priority then the CPU, and finally the GPU.
Newegg won't ship to Australia. Any chance of finding me links to amazon or another site?
Dont get a rosewill psu, try corsair or seasonic.
You can look up the items yourself on amazon cant you?

Thanks!
Don't import computer parts from America, its just a bad idea. Warranties are a bitch and there are taxes you have to pay as well depending on certain things, plus shipping is a fortune.
Just stick to PCCG.
Amazon won't ship the ram to me so I'll have to find another site. I'm buying the parts on PCCG but I can't find the same ram on it. Could somebody go on that site and find an alternate please? It would be greatly appreciated.

They only have 16gb kits, but anything should do when it comes to ram, as long as its DDR3.

Could somebody please verify that this ram would work on my computer. Ram is the last thing I need to figure out and I'm terrible with it. (1333, 1600 etc kind of thing).
