Any recommendations?

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

U NEDZ MOAR RAM! DUWNLOD MOAR RAM!

But it do.

Buy a new graphics card. I'm not familiar with AMD CPU's so give me a sec to google that. What is your budget on parts?

Sure. Tell me what you use the computer for and your budget.

Wow, thank you so much.

Well, I'm not so sure. I only just decided I wished to improve the performance of my gaming PC.

Would it be too much trouble to ask for recommendations of graphics cards and CPU's in low, mid and high price ranges?

  • 12.22.2012 7:17 AM PDT

Flood Kids? Lol.

OP, go This Thread and ask for help. The guys over there are computer wizards. Trust me.

Do you know what kind of GPU you have? You will definitely need to upgrade your CPU to something over 3 Ghz if you want it to be faster. I'd recommend an Intel i5 if you plan on just gaming or intel i7 if you have other needs such as video rendering and stuff.

But it do.

If your intentions are to game, all you need to do is buy a graphics card. Your CPU is a quad core at 3.2GHz so that shouldn't be an issue. If you want to just generally speed up the computer, buy some RAM sticks.

Hmm, okay. I will nod my head and pretend to know what that means.

What kind of graphics card would you suggest? I really like NVIDIA.

I recently bought a 650 Ti SSC. There're pretty good and are not too expensive.

GPU needs an upgrade, I think the CPU's probably ok, X4 AMD means quad-core doesn't it? RAM's fine. You'll want to check your power supply wattage as well if you're going to upgrade the graphics card. Checking the fans in case they're really dusty would help too.

They shouldn't bee too dusty. It's relatively new.

How do I check the power supply wattage? Will that just be on it if I open the computer, or is there some way to do it from windows?

Open your case and look for the sticker on your PSU. Tell us what it says next to Maximum Wattage.

I'll find that out tomorrow from the guys that sold me the computer... My friend pretty much built it for me. Once I find out, mind if I PM you?

I think you guys have done all that you can, thanks.

I would, but it's late here in Aus. Like I said, if it's not any trouble, I'll find out for you tomorrow and PM you.
