*PROBABLY IN WRONG SECTION*

Hey, for Christmas my dad got a cheap Computer desktop from work (£25). It is a Dell precision 390. We want to be able to make it better and upgrade it and shit... but we have no idea how to do it.

We don't necesserely want an uber gaming rig, we just want it to be alot better as we got it for very cheap. Any ideas?

(I also don't have a specific limit on how much I can spend atm, but please dont show me things that cost like £1000000000000.

I would also be happy with advice for speakers, mouse, keyboard etc too :)

Mouse -> Roccat Kone.
KEyboard -> Logitech G11/15
Speaker -> Creative SOundMaster/sennheiser one´s

Did not he said the hardware should not be that expensive?
I suggest a Razer Diamondback 3G or Copperhead for about 35$, they are definetely good enough and coast about 50% compared to Roccat Kone.
The Logitech keabyoards are pretty good, but also not that cheap.
If you want to save some money you go for a Cherry eVolution (20$).

And we actually have to know some details about your computer (especially the mainboard) to suggest hardware.
I googled it, is it this one?

You can download the free trial version of Everest Ultimate, it will show you the most important information.

One problem is that I haven't hooked up the cables and stuff.. i'm on my gaming-laptop still, so if i might have to wait untill i set up the computer and then i'll talk more about it.

Make sure to tell us how many PCI-E slots the Motherboard has and how many 4-pin/6-pin slots the PSU has.
