Technology upgrading

[Mad skillz]

hello i know very little about the inside of computer but for my IT coursework i have to upgrade a computer. It will only be used in a school so it doesnt have to have very good insides just enough to run...... It can only cost £175 or about $300. these need upgrading hard drive, Memory, CPU, Cdrom.

can somone please give me some details of what i need to look for in each.... im gonna use a 30gig harddrive. and thats all i know...

any help would be great. thanks:thumb:

instead of cd rom drive,get a dvd rom drive,you'll undoubtfully score more points on that.

for ram and cpu,well tell us what brand and model the motherboard is.Different motherboards have different sized slots
