TS geniuses,
I'm currently running this HP PC - Specs page - [I'm not allowed to link to this, but promise, I'm not a spambot. Well, I used to be, but daddy said it was wrong and I promised I wouldn't] - h10025[dot]www1.hp[dot]com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=49287&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3752236 (Remember to change the [dot]s to periods!)
I'd like to add a better graphics card, but realise that that will mean a PSU upgrade as well. What would you guys recommend? I'm not sure exactly what can fit in the case or what can even run at all - I'm a total ***** when it comes to hardware. Any other upgrades you'd recommend? DDR3 RAM perhaps? The Core2Quad is doing fine, but the 9500GS does struggle on High settings on newer games, even though I only play at 1360 x 768.
I'm currently looking at the 5770 as a replacement for the 9500GS, suitable choice?
Or does the OEM case and parts mean that I have no choice and would need to go down the custom route?
Thanks!
