Hey I was given an old computer a while back and used it for casual on of gaming, I recently decided to build a custom PC so i started learning what i need to do and how i can pick my parts, with not a hole lot of money to spend at the moment i think i will start by doing my build in gradual bits over say a few months or so. I just wanted to know if it is worth it upgrading the GPU, power supply and case that i already have and putting a new one into the current system i am running then doing the mother board, CPU, RAM, and liquid cooling later. At the moment it has a AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 3.00GHz, in a Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H with a EAH5450 SILENT/DI/512MD2(LP). Thanks, Ben

Should i get 4 gb ram w a 5870 gpu or 8 gb ram w a 5850 gpu?
Depends what you use the computer for, and how cheep it will be to upgrade in the future. If you play games, and can see the difference between frame rates, go with the better gpu. If you use CAD software, video editing and encoding, etc, you are better off with the extra memory. Also, take into account the cost of upgrade. Depending on your motherboard, it may be cheeper to upgrade ram or gpu. Note you can also Crossfire another 5850, to give the performance of a 5970.

Is it possible to upgrade your laptops video ram?
It is impossible to upgrade any type of VRAM, whether it be a laptop or a desktop. That's because the VRAM is built into the GPU/graphics card, so unless you're willing to try and switch your GPU (probably need to have it done by professionals), you'll need to buy a new laptop.
What should you upgrade for your gaming Laptop my specs are Intel Core i5-3230M 2.6GHz NVIDIA Geforce GT 730M 6GB DDR3 RAM I want to Upgrade one part gpu or cpu so i can run any game on ultra?
Basically, the best mobile (laptop) GPU is the GeForce 780m. You would need to upgrade more than just a "GPU or CPU" to be able to run a lot of games. As for being able to run any game on "ultra" it's just not going to happen, to be honest. Ultra settings often involve some kind of antialiasing which is a lot of work on the GPU. I have seen people using computers with TWO 780s that can't run ANY game on ultra with no performance drops. Even though there are a lot of great hardware packages that are being sandwiched into laptops these days, there are still limitations and games can still ask more than hardware can deliver. You could have a great gaming rig, however. See about upgrading to a nicer GPU like maybe a 770m and maybe a bit faster CPU.
Can you put a graphics card to the PS3?
No you cannot :(. The PlayStation 3 has a intergrated GPU(graphics card) which is solderd onto the motherboard, and there are no slots for a graphics upgrade unlike a computer which can be upgraded.

Will overclocking my GPU hurt my computer?
If done incorrectly, overclocking can only damage the part that you tried to overclock (resulting in a burned-out chip which will almost always require replacement) or prevent the computer from starting up (not enough power to start up the computer).
Is it possible to upgrade from USB-C to thunderbolt on a laptop I'm interested because i need thunderbolt speeds for external GPU and i only have USB-C (not thunderbolt) port on it?
yes it is possible but the depends on data of that usb-c.
