Hey, got a pre-made HP PC for free ($600 PC). I don't really like pre-built but whatever, it was free. Where should I begin with improving it? Here are the specs copied from Amazon:
HP Pavilion Slimline s5310f
Motherboard: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...ct=4107918
AMD Athlon II X2 250 Dual-Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE Graphics integrated graphics
RAM: 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3
Hard Drive: 640 GB SATA
Case: Size (LWH): 15.91 inches, 4.43 inches, 12.24 inches Weight: 9.2 pounds
I want to turn this into an HTPC do dual-boot XBMC and Windows 7. Not as important to me, but if it could play games like Skyrim on medium graphics that would be nice too.
This is my first HTPC, sorry if I don't understand something.
Biggest deciding factor is the price!
