Alright everyone. I have had this PC since about DECEMBER 2008, and as things keep popping up like new games, or other issues I've found it has gotten 'behind' the times.

I'm looking for a few tips on what to upgrade so I could, for example, play newer games like Shogun 2 on full graphics without the minimum straining my system. I am no technical genius, nor do I claim to know anything more than basic knowledge of my PC as it is.

Here are my specs/hardware;

OS: Windows 7 Home Prem (64-bit)
Processor: AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core ~2.7 GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM and 750GB HD w/ DX11

Video Cards: 2x NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT

Power Supply is 115V.


What I'm curious about is, can I upgrade my processor and video cards without having to do a complete overhaul of my computer?
For example in place of those video cards I wanted to add GeForce GTX 550s along with the AMD FX-4100 QuadCore? I know these are most likely "slight" changes and nothing too drastic, but how will I know if my motherboard can handle it?
