Based on what it has and what you want to use it for, I think you'd be OK with 2 upgrades. A more powerful PSU and a strong graphics card. I'll leave it to Proffit to suggest the best video card.
Hi everyone! I hope you can help me make a decision!
I want a desktop PC that'll make doing schoolwork and surfing the web seem like a breeze, while also being able to handle some games that don't require a monster gaming PC (think more Minecraft, and not Destiny 2). I realize that I was being incredibly vague, so I hope you understand what I'm kind of looking for.
We have an old PC that's about 7 years old, that we haven't used for a good while, and I was wondering which of the following you all recommend: (1) upgrade my current PC (specs below), (2) build a new PC, or (3) buy a new pre-built PC. My budget is about $600-$700, so I can't really afford ground breaking equipment.
Here is my old PCs specs:
Compaq Presario CQ5110Y

I noticed a deal on New Egg for the following system (the deal will expire before I make my decision, fyi) for a little over $500:
Acer Desktop Computer TC-780-NESelecti5 Intel Core i5 7th Gen 7400 (3.00 GHz) 8 GB DDR4 256 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 630 Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

I love Windows 10 Home 64-bit as well, just so ya know, and the rest sounds good to me too, but will it meet my above (vague) expectations? Or could I upgrade/build a cheaper PC to meet these needs? I'd appreciate your opinions!
Note: This is my first post here on CNET, so if I messed up in any way, or if didn't provide enough information, feel free to let me know. Thanks!
