Answer 1

im from the UK!!! i can help!!! lol

first with CSS (counter strike source) it is not necesarry for an upgrade to make everything run faster

what you could try before spending money is an fps config.... first create a notepad file called "autoexec.cfg" in your cstrike\config folder (if you dont know where that is then the directory is usually "C:\programfiles\steam\steamapps

\(youraccountname)

\counterstrike-source

\cstrike\cfg

now search in google counterstrike source fps config and then copy and paste all the things that it sez into the config file.....

hardware im good with but i have to finish this quick.... if u want more advice email me at [e-mail] (got to run) hope i helped

Answer 2

Your Video Card looks like its integrated. Integrated Video Cards are VERY bad for gaming especially for FPS(First Person Shooter).

But if you look at your motherboard, its VERY old. I did a google search on it and it seems to support DDR RAM, not DDR2. Your motherboard is VERY old. I suggest you get another motherboard, graphics card, and PSU. The PSU should be at least 450W. Your graphics card should  be AT LEAST a 8400GS. A good processor would be any cheap core 2 duo that will support your motherboard.  

Answer 3

You should definatly try going through your computer and uninstalling all the programs you don't really use any more and get that wasted space off your computer.

After that, do a disk defragment. Go to computer manager and then do a disk defragment. It doesn't take that long and really helps

Good luck
