I have a Compaq Presario PC SR5710Y, its an old desktop from 2008. I upgraded the nvidia nforce 430 onboard graphics to an AMD RADEON HD 2400 it helped me with using windows alot smoother than what it was but then I decided I wanted to play some light classic games like cs go or halo custom...

If I were to upgrade the Psu to what you told me, add those samsung 2gb kit of ram, put a 750 ti, and windows 10 64-bit, would the gpu still be bottleneck ed by the cpu? I don't care about price because there is only a 5$ difference and I could easily just stick it into my future rig. What about...

I just need a small gpu that just requires power from mobo, I already know that it could play bf3, ive seen it on youtube. I do know that I need an upgrade just for the meantime I would like to know a good gpu.

It has Windows Vista 32-bit, but I am going to upgrade to Windows 8.1 64-bit. I am also willing to buy more ram if that will help...
