Upgrading a Pre-Built PC help!!!

[Sajan Ali]

Hey Overclockers!

Just wanting some sound advice if possible.

I want to upgrade my PC on a budget of around $200.

I have a Dell Optiplex 755 and also a Dell Optiplex 760.

It would mainly be for basic/intermediate editing videos, microsoft word, browsing the net and editing photos.

I understand the budget is low, if not too low but it is my first build and i want to slowly get into it, later investing into a powerful system.

I have a 1 week work holiday and looking to set this up this week (amazon prime next day delivery) will be used.

I hope i can get some assistance.

Thanks in advance!

If you are only using it the above, can not see any point in upgrading. Save your money until you can replace most of the internals

Yes, i want to change the motherboard, ram, hdd etc etc

Pre-built systems are complicated to upgrade, unless some system which uses readily available parts, as if hand picked by computer shops, such as the systems sold by Overclockers or similar.
Main issue is the PSU. 99% of the time, barely enough for the actual system.
The only upgrades safely doable are (please check for supported capacity) RAM and replace the HDD for a SSD.

Thanks for your kind advice, does that mean i will not be able to change the motherboaed either?
