Thanks !

At least 2 GB of ram for starters. HP/Compaq should be shot for selling that computer with only 512 MB of ram and Vista installed on it.

Next would be a video card instead of that garbage Intel onboard. Before making any recommendations, how much are you looking to spend?

I don't really know those two games so I can't say whether they are resource hogs or not but I can tell you that your Celeron CPU is/was not ment to play games.

It reads that you have 502MB of RAM, it should be 512MB but even so, the norm or today stds is at least 2GB's or more... more if you run Vista x64.

It also appears that you have an Onboard video card and this will not help much at all once you start getting into the nitty gritty of the game(s).

I am thinking that your Power Supply (PSU) is a small one, perhaps less than 300w so, upgrading to a better Video Card might not be possible since the PSU won't be able to push it, even though, there are many video cards that not require much juice.

Aside from this, others with more experience should be able to advise better. In all Honesty, I would advice selling yours and getting a better PC for gaming but, again, I don't know those game and they may not require much to play them smooth.

Well look just tell me stuff I would need to buy and thats it.

lmao, someones not taking it seriously, just buy a dell xps system, with your attitude towards computing, you shouldnt build one, just buy a brand new one or buy one off ebay.

Lol, nice advice
