Forum :: Lounge :: Computer Upgrade

So i'm looking to upgrade my graphics card but my PC knowledge is crap! lol

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor
2.33GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 4MB Cache
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
4GB DDR2 667MHz memory
640GB SATA hard drive (7200rpm)
NVIDIA GeForce 7100 onboard graphics

What is good but cheap? Just missed out on a HD6350 cheap but not sure if it would of fit

It's alright. How much are you paying?

I probly didn't explain very well but i need to upgrade the Graphic card, I say upgrade but the current one is built onto the Motherboard.

I got told by the previous owner a Radeon HD 4870 was fitted before i bought the PC but he removed it.

But since i posted this ive actually bought a Graphic card (Radeon HD 5450, (1024 MB)), Payed £20 so that's $32 for you American folks

Not sure if it will fit but if not it will upgrade my current gaming PC.

If money doesn't grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?

Well i've looked into Graphic cards and found out alot about them since i posted this so now i'm clued up lol.

I would of bought something like that but it's the wrong time of year to spend that much lol just spent £120 on Crimbo booze :D

Also i don't want to run hardcore games, I'll see how well it does since my PSU is only 250w and this card only uses 19.1watts so i dont need to upgrade anything else to use it.
