Only problem when upgrading a name brand computer is that when you change out the processor the motherboard has to compatable which is hard to find when your using name brand computers once they put weird things inside so the best bet for your money is to build all your own computer pick up a barebone kit and start from there.

if you hesitant about how hard it will be... dont be
its so easy, anyone could do it
i built my first pc when i was ~10
all you have to do is screw in the motherboard, everything else just plugs right in, and a bit more screws to hold in the gfx card, harddrive, cd, ect...

I was really worried about breaking parts and stuff like that if I built it myself, but it's really easy, but you do need to be quite forceful to get certain parts in.
