No offense intended using the word computer geek I just wanted to grab the attention of you computer gurus.
I need basic info in simple (me) terms on what I can do myself, at home, to upgrade my PC's performance. I'm fairly handy with the computer, but I'd call myself a computer dummy, so I need this explained in layman's terms.
What can I buy online to install into my existing PC to make it faster (open pages faster, download faster etc.)?
This is what I have now:
